For an entire film we follow an application process in which all applicants are put in one room. In some sort of “Big Brother” / “Das Experiment” kind of way, the applicants have to decide who leaves, the company where they want to work, only observing. Of course things are put to extreme a bit, but this is about the basis of the film. Almost entirely in one room and with only a few people, “El Método” does manage to create some psychological tension, but overall it is hardly interesting enough for the entire film. Of course something has come up with to make some plot changes, so I guess for people who like psychological films and/or minimalistic thrillers, “El Método” could be worth a try.
