Very disappointing...

Better Late Then Never

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Do not be fooled by the appealing look of the DVD box. Beware of what is inside. Before you know it, you will have lost pieces of your soul to the producers and directors of this movie. R is for ridiculous. O is for "Oh god! What a waste of time." O is for zerO motivation. M is for movies that suck! We crown this one queen. Waste your time. Try to figure out this plot, and you might suffer a brain aneurysm. The best part of this movie was reading the comments on this site and knowing we are not alone in our absolute DISGUST for this brainless, plot less, mind sucking movie. There are not enough words in the English vocabulary to express the distaste I feel for this film.

Room is the most infuriating and boring movie I have seen in years. I wanted to destroy the DVD when the end credits came on. Why? As others have already stated so well, there was no ending, no conclusion, no answers or resolution of any kind to what that room was or what it meant to her.I did like seeing a very fat actress in a role instead of a pretty person. I also liked seeing her fat lover... the guy she picked up in the bar. I assumed she had sex with him because of the night her husband refused her because he had work to do. But who knows? Like everything else in this film, it was interesting to watch, but meaningless.When I began to realize I had wasted my money was in that spiraling weirdness at the end. It gave me a headache, and I had to look away. When it just went on and on and on, I had a hunch that this was the director's substitute for a decent ending.All in all, watching this film was like having pretty-good sexual foreplay and then having your lover just leave you. I will never watch anything by that director again. He copped out, he cheated us, and I hope he turns to something like gardening where what he does won't infuriate millions of viewers like Room did.

If you like films with beginnings, middles, and ends, this is not for you. There is much to like about parts of this film. The acting is good, the cinematography is good, the music and sound design is excellent, and the editing is very good. Still, I would have preferred going to any trailer park in Texas and drinking beer with the residents. The film is so much like real life that it makes me long for real life instead of watching an imitation. I don't need to pay to see banality on screen when I can walk out the door and see it for free, and in a more interesting, interactive way. This would have made 2 excellent experimental films of about 8 minutes each. This is not a "message film," but rather a very long mood piece, and unfortunately, all of that was conveyed by the movie poster. "Room" reminds me of Richard Linklater's first feature film, "It's Impossible to Learn to Plow by Reading Books." I disliked that film for many of the same reasons, and now Linklater is one of my favorite directors. I hope the same will happen with this filmmaker.

Experimental Movie?? Umm, I guess, If the experiment portion of it was to confuse and frustrate the viewer.This movie has absolutely no plot, no conflict, no story, no point, no climax, and of course, no resolution.As I sat in the theater, tears of pain inflicted by this film strolled down my face. It's a pain I don't dare wish upon the worst of enemies.I don't think I have EVER wished that the "hero" would just kill herself. I kept hoping she would have a stroke or get stabbed by the absurd fortune teller and/or silly cowboy, or simply just jump out of the stupid window in her vision. ANYTHING would have been interesting. Yet I had no such luck.That's not including the the two minutes of irrelevant and aimless kaleidoscope (or magnified amoeba) action on the screen towards the end.Watch it if you're looking for a reason to cry or commit suicide.
