    I can't see how In the Aisles is even a film, it doesn't go anywhere.

    Joaquin Phoenix's other recent roles have been similarly empty :). With amateur performances, it's a dialogue driven workplace drama with a main character who barely speaks. So it's the other character talking and nothing happening, but day-to-day operations and a non-existent romance. I've worked in a similar setting to this and a film need not be made about that either.
