Trevor Ruth reviews Alexandre Aja's Oxygen (2021), starring Mélanie Laurent:

“The film could have easily been about the pertinence of memory and self, when it tries so hard to include multiple surprises at once and—as a result—loses its own sense of pertinence.”

“We had so much silence to give. Each of us had ceased to investigate the other’s life long ago. For some time inquisitiveness grew easily in the fertile ground of my suspicion; I trusted her less, and this made me the more curious one.”

"I was suffering from CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) and the boy was in a similar situation because he’d gotten his feet crushed by a car.

"Dani and I each only have a couple people we see, so it’s been really interesting to kind of interact with the same people over and over again, because generally that would just be what friendship is.
