A critique of corporate America with a technological twist, Hulu's The Mill is a single-location thriller with several well-rounded points to make. However, the film can't manage to break away from its claustrophobic location, hindering the narrative. The Mill is an hour and 45 minutes long but could have still successfully conveyed its themes with 20 minutes chopped off the runtime. Lil Rel Howery, who is usually seen as comic relief, delivers a layered and nuanced lead performance here. Despite its many strong elements, the film makes the viewer feel just as trapped as its lead character with its somber tone and tedious pacing.
