Oxygen

Oxygen (Oxygène, 2021) is a French sci-fi thriller directed by Alexandre Aja that you can watch online on iFILM. A woman regains consciousness sealed inside a cryogenic pod. No name. No memory of how she got there. The panel in front of her reports one thing clearly: oxygen levels dropping, maybe ninety minutes left.

Her only line of contact is MILO, a medical AI voiced by Mathieu Amalric — polite, literal, and blocked from certain commands without a password she doesn't have. Mélanie Laurent carries the entire film from inside that pod: fear calculates into method, method collapses back into panic, and scattered memory fragments begin surfacing that reframe everything she thought she understood. Why this pod? Who put her here? Each answer pulls open another question underneath it.

Aja built a single-location thriller almost entirely on Laurent's performance and a ticking clock — deliberately, not out of necessity. Stream Oxygen (2021) online on iFILM.
