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

The Immaculate Room, is as the synopsis states...a movie where you spend 50 days in a white room, and by completing this you win $5 million.

It's as described on the tin. Plot wise, it seems like its going to be like other similar titles such as Phonebooth, The Circle, The Platform, Cube, etc....but this movie really goes nowhere. There is no tension. And while I really like the main actors, its hard to suspend your disbelief that people would really act this way and be so self destructive when theyre constantly reminding themselves its $5m on the line.

Really theres quite a lot of stimulation. Theres actually 2 rooms. Plenty of space to be active and move about. The lights are dimmed every night (not constantly on and over stimulating), and there are various treats and such that add stimulation to the time, so really its hard to believe that people cant do 50 days.

There's no twist or pay off for the little bit of tension in the movie either. The movie really goes nowhere so can't really recommend it.

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.

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.

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.
