Inspired by true events during the 1942 Nazi occupation of Poland, LOVE GETS A ROOM is the story of a Jewish stage actress who must make the gut-wrenching decision to follow her heart or to escape the Warsaw ghetto. Told in real time like Cortés' acclaimed BURIED, the film is a romantic tale of love and survival in the face of harrowing circumstances.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

It's reasonably compelling but overlong.

An affecting WWII musical drama set in the Warsaw ghetto that's filmed in real-time. Visually arresting with interesting camera work, but it's the music that's the real highlight.

Rated: 3/5

Screen International

A fine technical achievement, a moving inquiry into what young love can mean under such conditions, and Cortés' strongest film since 2010's Buried.

Love Gets a Room is a masterpiece about love, art, antisemitism, courage, death, and survival. A jewel that will make you weep, laugh, sing, and cry. Written by Rodrigo Cortés & David Safier and directed by Rodrigo, the movie is set at the Warsaw ghetto in January 1942 (six months before the deportations to the Treblinka extermination camp). The cinematography (Rafael García) of Love Gets a Room and the music (Víctor Reyes) will take your breath away. The cast is absolutely superb: Clara Rugaard, Ferdia Walsh-Peelo, Henry Goodman, Anastasia Hille, Valentina Bellè, Mark Ryder, Freya Parks, Jack Roth, Magnus Krepper and our beautiful, amazing and talented Dalit Streett Tejeda as little Sarah. Bravo to all! 10/10.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
