For a mess, it's lively. But from Saulnier we'd have liked something more.

Rated: 3/5

Its go-for-broke horror aesthetic a real world cavalcade of terror that had me noticeably shaking long after the film itself had come to an end.

Rated: 3.5/4

London Evening Standard

How can you resist a film that, metaphorically, throws Simon & Garfunkel, Fugazi and Slayer into the same moshpit?

Rated: 3/5

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

Everyone in the main ensemble delivers powerful performances, but Patrick Stewart is particularly chilling as the aloof white supremacist bar owner Darcy.

Committed performances, sharp dialogue, a gripping blend of the visceral and the heartfelt, and a credible sense of authenticity all add up to deliver an indie-grindcore night out to remember.

Not a bad film, wasn’t particularly drawn in, probably wouldnt recommend it to anyone but didn’t feel like my time was wasted.

Um dos meus preferidos entre os filmes de terror da A24. "Sala Verde" tem uma premissa muito singular para um filme de terror: banda punk lutando para sobreviver presa dentro de bar neo-n4z1st4 após acidentalmente testemunhar um assassinato. Simples, porém original e eficiente. E o resultado é um tenso e claustrofóbico terror de sobrevivência, marcado insana violência explícita e gloriosos efeitos práticos.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Green Room is one of those movies that grabs you right from the start and refuses to let go. The tension is legit, and Jeremy Saulnier does a great job keeping things tight and gritty without overdoing it. The whole punk band-in-danger setup works really well, and you can feel the desperation in every scene. I liked how the movie doesn’t try to get fancy with big explanations, it just throws you right into the chaos and lets you experience it alongside the characters. The production is pretty raw, the cinematography fits the mood, and the soundtrack gives everything a nice punk edge. The acting is definitely one of the highlights. Anton Yelchin brings a lot of vulnerability and realism, Imogen Poots is solid as always, and Patrick Stewart honestly steals every scene he’s in with that cold, calm energy. Even though there are a few plot holes if you think too hard about it, the movie keeps you hooked with its relentless pacing and gritty atmosphere. It’s brutal and suspenseful, but not in a way that feels empty. If you like intense thrillers that don’t pull punches, Green Room is definitely worth a watch

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
