This film achieves a lot with limited sets, low tech, and a handful of unknown actors.
The dystopian mood is well-maintained through not only the soundtrack but with camera angles, colour palette and lighting; all of these speak to both technical skill and consistency of directorial vision.
The lead characters are bare-bones but not stereotypical. They appear genuinely vulnerable, in keeping with their surroundings.
The plot is not unique - self-serving and ostensibly socially-protective corporation versus the ordinary man - but the psychological aspects are well done.
There are moral choices to be made.
A surprisingly good low-budget indie SF film.
