Eric Khoo's one-room location for passionate and intimate trysts can't help but feel cold and sterile...

Asian Movie Pulse

In general, I would say that the film functions quite well as an erotic film, but less so as a drama. Definitely deserves a watch though, since the various segments work for the most part, although mostly individually, and not so much as a whole.

One Room With A View

After opening shorts respectively characterised by static, stagey discourse and poor acting, In the Room grows in confidence and passionate eloquence.

Rated: 3/5

The common thread is the love, lust and longing its occupants experience.

For all its sexually charged sequences, In the Room is really more about the lingering sadness that results from the transient encounters it depicts.

The Straits Times (Singapore)

The results are uneven, with the fault lying mostly with the writing, which tries to be thoughtful and titillating at the same time, while succeeding at neither.

Rated: 2.5/5

This is like a bold concept envisioned by a self-styled intellectual that's executed by clueless amateurs. Indulgent and pretentious, it's hard to believe Eric Khoo made this.
