The Room (2003) - Film Review

Review:

*Originally written August 11th, 2017*

"The peak of cinema"

My previous half star rating for my first viewing of The Room was a severe miscalculation. The Room is a powerful, funny and tragic romantic drama. Tommy Wiseau steals every frame he's in with his performance which is as unique as it is subtle. Cinema has yet to see a performance match the quality of Wiseau.

As a writer and director, Wiseau is a revelation. Subverting the melodrama with intentionally funny moments to put the audience off guard and not prepare them for the heartbreaking ending which will have grown men crying more than Terminator 2 and Logan did.

I wish Tommy Wiseau was my dad. He's a genius. A madman. A god. A king. All the above put into a blender and served to you in a messy drink that goes down easy. I cannot wait to see this man storm the film industry with his inevitable comeback.

The Room is pure cinema. Everything done wrong in a combination that has become one of the most fascinating and unforgettable cult hits. After you see The Room, it will never leave you. Tommy Wiseau will slowly become a part of you, and you don't want it any other way. 


Can we get a release date for The Disaster Artist in the UK, please?

10/10 Dans

The Room has never had an official release in the UK, but The Prince Charles Cinema in London frequently show it (Often with Tommy Wiseau in attendance)
Watch the trailer below:
