Someone on here says this isn't original and apparently there is another film with similarities entitled A Breath Away, though it seems to have many logistical flaws according to some of the reviewers on here. Looking at the trailer, it seems to be somewhat of a different animal with a lot more action, more special effects and a lot more outside scenes. I might take a look. I didn't think there were any real logistical flaws within this bizarre scenario of two people who meet for a one night stand while the world is covered with deadly pink clouds and they cannot be exposed to the toxic air or they will quickly die, so this is where they stay. Not that a immense of a problem, but for how long is the real issue. The entire rest of the film takes place in this apartment. For something with such a limited scenario, this becomes really interesting. This event just goes on and on and they are forced to live their lives together until this ends, if it ever does. Beyond their relationship shifts over time, both good and bad, there are plentiful stories here as seen through cell phones, tablets, people in other windows, etc. What we see through these lenses are also fascinating. This is a very well directed film that wastes little time with setups to get to a point. The editing is exceptional and there are a couple of very solid performances from the two principals. It's sad and sometimes it's even lovely, but it's mostly peculiar. I am glad I stumbled upon it. It's very intriguing.

Unusual
The script thought a lot inside the box and forgot that without the outside there would be no inside
Important information is missing from the film about the cloud, such as why doesn't it go into cracks? What happened to the animals? Who takes care of the plantations? What happens to all the garbage that people produce in their homes? There is a lot of omitted information that would make the experience better and more believable, improving immersion. About the narrative part, most of it is very cohesive and presents great reflections, but the ending is bad, she felt sorry for her son (whom she brought into the world) and soon after decides to kill herself leaving her son without a mother. It's not a bad movie, but it had the potential to be much better. 6/10.
Locked in ... or out(?)
No pun intended - the movie is seemingly a sort of remake from a french movie (Hold your breath) ... which I did watch ... before the pandemic did what it did to us I reckon. And watching this after all the things that went down ... well truth indeed is stranger than fiction ... still the movies can come close. This being on example of that.
Maybe you ought to check the movie that came before this first. Maybe you should be aware of what the movie will be about - pacing and otherwise. This is not an easy watch to say the least. But it can be worth it - the human drama, the questions ... the reality of what it would do to a human psyche. And that all with the knowledge that we still would have way more options than people before us. You could find things to spend time - or waste time with ... interesting concept, even if reality was not as grim (fortunately)
