I don't know if this is technically a movie. It's an episode for the British TV series Play for Today. It's movie length, of course, so I'm considering it a film.
A couple is having a party in their apartment for some neighbors. The party consists of five people talking about boring things and acting interested. They discuss music, cars, art, books and olives, among other things.
Dryly funny and satirical, this movie is well worth watching. The entire film unfolds in a single room, which I'm a fan of. You can definitely tell it's based off of a play. If you have Netflix, you can stream it.

7/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
