"The peak of cinema"
My previous half star rating for my first viewing of The Room was a severe miscalculation. The Room is a powerful, funny and tragic romantic drama. Tommy Wiseau steals every frame he's in with his performance which is as unique as it is subtle. Cinema has yet to see a performance match the quality of Wiseau.
As a writer and director, Wiseau is a revelation. Subverting the melodrama with intentionally funny moments to put the audience off guard and not prepare them for the heartbreaking ending which will have grown men crying more than Terminator 2 and Logan did.
I wish Tommy Wiseau was my dad. He's a genius. A madman. A god. A king. All the above put into a blender and served to you in a messy drink that goes down easy. I cannot wait to see this man storm the film industry with his inevitable comeback.
The Room is pure cinema. Everything done wrong in a combination that has become one of the most fascinating and unforgettable cult hits. After you see The Room, it will never leave you. Tommy Wiseau will slowly become a part of you, and you don't want it any other way.
Can we get a release date for The Disaster Artist in the UK, please?
10/10 Dans
The Room has never had an official release in the UK, but The Prince Charles Cinema in London frequently show it (Often with Tommy Wiseau in attendance)
