At the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in 2023, I encountered a similar drama about poor working conditions for low-wage workers in North America. While the Canadian film Richelieu impressed me, The Box falls short. It's shot in a quiet, understated manner that fails to evoke much emotion. The ending is lackluster and ultimately falls flat.
