Iris can best be described as a wallflower. She begins her first day as a temp for the nondescript Global Credit Association by waiting in a chair for two hours. This sets the scene for her (mis)adventures with the other "corporate orphans", Margaret, Paula and Jane. Led by Margaret, they find subtle ways to lessen the ennui of corporate oppression. The tension escalates when the new permanent hire, Cleo, enters the picture.

Clockwatchers Ratings & Reviews

  • Doc WormFebruary 17, 2026
    A heartfelt meditation on the banality of 90s office culture. Depressingly evergreen and hilariously elevated by its smart script and dialed in cast of a who’s who of the female indie scene of the time. Discordant colorful shots highlight where the mind wanders when drowned out in a mundane world of paper pushing, number crunching, and ever present Muzak.

    We were temporary in every possible way — even to ourselves.
