The Immaculate Room

It's hard to imagine a more obviously COVID-era movie, made in strict isolation with a small handful of actors, some of whom never even meet each other and talk only to a camera in another room.

On one level it's admirable that they tried to keep on making movies in such an incredibly challenging time, but it already feels dated and claustrophobic and it's just obvious that it exists only for the reason of producing content during a pandemic.

There is practically nothing that happens in it that comes as any kind of surprise, and there's no original, meaningful or particularly convincing moments that occur at any point.

To be fair, there's nothing glaringly BAD about it, either, just the perpetually nagging feeling that it wouldn't exist at all if not for some head office instruction to continue pumping out streaming content at all costs when the barrel is otherwise scraped dry.

It drove me crazy that they kept bumping into the bed or kept saying they couldn't see anything after the lights went out even though the room had the entire floor covered with lights. I mean the bed practically had underglow light effects like a car would have.

Pretty slow movie where nothing really happens..

Ok. That's the end of the review. Why the hell is the app making me come up with 600+ characters for the review. There is literally nothing left to say. I want this review to stop but no, it won't let me. It just keeps making me type more letters. Yippee, only 26 more characters to go.

The Immaculate Room feels like a missed opportunity. It has an interesting idea and starts off well enough but loses it's way badly towards the end. Emile Hirsch (who is seemingly incapable of a bad performance) and Kate Bosworth (may be the strongest i've seen her) give great performances and it was nice to see M. Emmet Walsh in one scene. The concept of the movie is definitely better than the execution and the directing is rather poor at times, most notably in the ending which is rushed and is really a letdown after what's gone on before. Shame.......................................................

I loved this movie. It was a similar concept with a different story. Personally I have always enjoyed one room movies because it depends on the story telling not visual effects. I won't give anything away, watch it for yourself and form your own opinion there is too much he said she said in movies these days we should all enjoy what we enjoy, too many great movie are getting over looked because the critics turn there nose up when they see something that may resemble something from the past but let's be honest alot of mainstream movies have gone to cr#@. All I will say is I do NOT feel as if my time was waisted and I hope there is a second movie.

A couple are sent to "The Immaculate Room" where if you spend 50 days in a room where there is mostly nothing that you win 5 million dollars. It was quite intriguing that the movie was shot in only one room and Mikey and Kate are questioning their own sanity while spent locked up by themselves as days go on with surprises that the room gives them. It is, at best, a decent film.
