Inside is a 2023 psychological thriller film directed by Vasilis Katsoupis and written by Ben Hopkins. The movie stars Willem Dafoe as Nemo, a high-end art thief who is trapped in a New York penthouse after his heist doesn’t go as planned. Locked inside with nothing but priceless works of art, he must use all his cunning and invention to survive.


The movie is a true introspective on what a creative person would do when faced with such circumstances. It shows how Nemo uses his creativity to create art and express himself in ways that are not possible in the outside world. Willem Dafoe does wonders to show the slow slip into madness and the creative streaks that brings.


However, the movie is let down by a lack of creativity on escaping and surviving. Nemo’s creativity is not enough to save him from his situation and he is ultimately defeated by it. The displays of art are outweighed by the audience’s desire to scream what he should try next.


Overall, Inside is a thought-provoking movie that will leave you questioning what it means to be creative and how far one can go to express themselves. It’s a must-watch for anyone who enjoys movies that challenge their thinking and leave them with something to ponder over.


The cinematography in Inside is stunning, with each shot carefully crafted to convey Nemo’s descent into madness. The use of color and lighting is particularly effective in creating an eerie atmosphere that keeps you on edge throughout the movie.


Willem Dafoe delivers an outstanding performance as Nemo, capturing both his creative genius and his descent into madness with equal skill. His portrayal of a man struggling to hold onto his sanity while creating art in confinement is both haunting and mesmerizing.


While some may find the lack of creativity on escaping and surviving disappointing, it’s important to remember that this movie is not about escape or survival. It’s about creativity and what it means to be truly creative in a world that often stifles it.
