Kate's new job may not be the most exciting or suspense filled film (infact I wouldn't even call it a horror movie) but for the viewer that takes the time to really watch the story unfold, the result is worth it. The performances are stellar and the directing crisp and focused. Since this is a dialogue driven movie it would've been easy to shoot the typical master and cut back and fourth between static over the shoulder shots. Instead, Larouche opts to use a variety of movement shots which adds a very stylistic edge to the film. (The great dolly that opens the film, the subtle camera movement during Kate's and Carl's dialogue scene). The editing is also tight.
The theme of the film is also interesting in the comments it makes on the modern day work place (draw from it what you will).
All in all Kate's New Job is a very well done short flic with excellent production value that may have trouble finding an audience.
