    A nice and simple story, but well done. Good songs, too

    This film seems rather dull and humdrum to start with. It does improve but not for quite some time - not long off an hour into the film does the real premise show up, so to speak, which is a shame. I'd understand people becoming bored and losing interest in it. However, I thought it became surprisingly quite touching and sad in different scenes, due to different sub-plots. Its certainly not as memorable or funny as Toni Erdmann, although it is categorised as a drama, rather than a comedy but it does also star Sandra Huller, who was in Toni Erdmann. By the end of the film, I felt it was reasonably good, its a quirky watch - it's certainly not a gripping watch per se but it's ok. It may be quite thought provoking for some. It shows the main character, Christian, in his new workplace being quite a looming and industrial place - there's almost a feel of isolation, a clinical-ness about it, with Christian left mostly on his own to work in the long aisles of the store at night. I wouldn't go out of your way to watch this as such, overall, so no, I wouldn't recommend it.

    An unexpectedly beautiful, warm film set in the coldest of settings in a mega supermarket in the middle of nowhere in Germany.

    exploring big topics in the small world of a supermarkt at night time. lots of silence leaves us as observing their day to day lifes in the scenes captured with stunning cinematography. the characters really connected with me through being so ordinary and authentic.

    If I thought first that the movie was a romantic one, I just realized at some points that it wasn't just all about that. With a huge sense of poetry, and a beautiful cinematography, the director drags us in a sordide universe which through his eyes and the story of all the characters become full of humanity and sensibility (but never mawkishness). Bravo to the great actresses and actors, they do as well a beautiful job, and you just love them all. A movie that takes ways you will never expect, and that is absolutely worth watching !

    Film is beautifully photographed. The warehouse comes alive with caring employees and wonderful music. Great art manages to elevate the every day happenings. This is great art.

    A beautiful film which shows us that we can find many feelings or adventures in the most simple actions in life. The movie is about all that a common person can live, the love, the dreams, goals all togheter in this amazing piece that had an amazing Direction by Thomas Stuber.

    Proof that melancholic drama can come from one of the most unlikely of real-world sources, "Into the Aisles" is a testament to the lives of people behind the most mundane places in our lives.

    The film was slow and the acting was sub par. 2 hours of emotionless speaking and looking at each other. The storyline did not have a point or offer social commentary. Despite critics' attempt to seem transcendental and, per usual, claim the film is too sophisticated for an average audience, it is pointless, plain and simple.
