"Celebrate Boxing Week with Richard Kelly’s latest film to date: a vision of apocalypse that arrives neatly packaged at the door of the nuclear family. Like any great Christmas movie, The Box interrogates the capitalist core of the holiday season, pushing its provocative logline to esoteric extremes." - Nick
Join us for our next staff pick of the month! In June, our awesome concessions stand member, Nick picks THE BOX!
Norma and Arthur Lewis, a suburban couple with a young child, receive a simple wooden box as a gift, which bears fatal and irrevocable consequences. A mysterious stranger delivers the message that the box promises to bestow upon its owner $1 million with the press of a button. However pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world; someone they don't know. With just 24 hours to have the box in their possession, Norma and Arthur find themselves in the cross-hairs of a startling moral dilemma and must face the true nature of their humanity.
