The Immaculate Room

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.......................................................

When one places 2 actors in 1 room and there is nothing else but a white room, then THE ACTING becomes paramount.

The bad; the problem with this movie is that we get to see 2 decent actors, who cant elevate this movie though to a higher level. I really do like both actors, but they aint Oscar winning performers.

More bad: the direction isnt gripping. It's missing spark and punch. Part due to the story being dull and predictable, part due to the direction itself.

Nice idea, mediocre execution.

This film is just a boring mess. There isn't anything intellectual about it. I personally found it tedious to watch, hoping it had something intelligent to say. But the film is just about greed, insecurities and jealousy. As an audience member, I was just as bored as the actors on the screen.

'The Immaculate Room' is the type of film that makes me worry about which other films I would really enjoy that I haven't watched because of a low IMDb score. 4.3/10 is criminally low for a film like this, in my opinion. Is it just young people upset that nothing has blown up in the first 40 minutes of the film, switching it off and giving it a 1/10? Or are people actually finding this offensively bad and I've just missed something? I'm not entirely sure. All I know is I had a great time with it.

To be fair this is exactly my type of film. I love single-room thrillers where the only thing the film has to fall back on is the strength of its characters. Putting them in a psychological experiment setting is just the icing on the cake. I loved the arc they found themselves on too, how when they first arrive they think it is going to be a piece of cake, then the slowly realise just how long 50 days is. The "treats" the film throws into the mix to spice things up were excellent as well.

I can understand this film not being for everyone. But if don't need a film to have Marvel-level budget and explosions and CGI everywhere you look then you may just have a really good time with this one. If you do then probably stay away. 8/10.

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.
