Good movie but grossly overrated

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

These episodes remind me of old movie but there still film noir. I few of my favorite are "Dead End for Delia" with Gary Oldman, "A Dime of Dance" with Jennifer Gray & Eric Stolz, "Fearless", "Tomorrow I Die" with Bill Pullman & "Good-Housekeeper" with Dana Delany, William Peterson, Benicio Del Toro & Marcia Gay Harden. These few episodes were well-acted and had twist in the end. Some episodes were either boring or bad acting they did not keep my interest. I hope they put this show on DVD soon.

I remember watching these episodes on Showtime, and I would have to say that they are pretty interesting. The one with Joe Montegna was really interesting. Gary Oldman had a good role in one of the episodes. Above all, I would give the entire shows combined together, 6.5 out of 10.

Trust Steven Soderbergh to make dangerous and thrilling a safely nostalgic TV show. His film, 'The Quiet Room' is an extension into noir of his SEX, LIES AND VIDEOTAPE subject matter, and provides a bridge between it and his later generic forays: the private, sexual space in the public domain; the Genetesque rites of sex and power, one corrupting the other (and vica versa); the malaise of middle-class inadequacy; the ultimate failure of all relationships because of lack of communication (this film begins the father/daughter problematic essayed so hauntingly in THE LIMEY). Brilliantly, painfully funny, the film is more stylistically imaginative than a TV programme has any right to expect.
