The Workshop would like us to feel like we watched something meaningful about a lot of different things, when in fact it tabled all the elements of meaning, set some of them rolling, but didn't follow through.

"The Workshop" never lets us know exactly what anyone really thinks. These tantalizing clues only add to the film's allure.

The film keeps you guessing, not only as to where the story's going but what kind of film it will turn out to be.
