This movie is meant to depict a low level woman in the workplace, which it does. However, the dreary setting and unemotional nature of the woman and her coworkers is not realistic. In an office setting there are always pleasantries and people making idle lighthearted chit chat. I've never seen nor worked at any office that has this type of down cast scenario. Not to say it doesn't exist, but just is not true to real life.
