Critics Consensus

Anchored by Juliette Gariépy's superb portrayal of self-destructive obsession, Red Rooms is a haunting and timely trip down a particularly morbid rabbit hole.

This picture about people obsessed with criminals and their grisly crimes confronts us with the mystery of who the obsessives truly are.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

I have to warn that you may need to be a little twisted to love this film... Definitely the most tense I've felt in a long time. I can't recommend it high enough.

Variety

The coolly controlled film unsettles with a kind of diseased psychological atmosphere -- hewing not from the mindset of the accused so much as the parasitical sickness that makes spectators obsess over his kind.

For the Win (USA Today)

[Juliette] Gariépy refuses any easy reads on her character, and that’s a stunning testament to the degree of difficulty in the performance. It’s a chilling slam dunk.

Red Rooms might not show the audience Nietzsche’s abyss, but it does have others stare into it, with us glimpsing its reflection in their pupils.

An effective thriller. Not much happens but it happens in an interesting way. Good cinematography, acting and pace. Will be disturbing but its worth the watch

A compelling. well-told story about true crime obsession, even one apparently well-intentioned. Well cast, well acted, well written.

For a movie of the "dark side of humanity" genre this was a good one. I'd like to think the best of the main characters intentions at the end.

Arya S

Interesting character study of a young-woman's obsession and eventual involvement in the trial of a serial killer., with Gariépy beautifully portraying the weird, alienated Kelly-Anne. The frustration for many viewers might be the artsy pacing and the dissatisfaction of never learning WHY???? This is the kind of movie where when it's over, you want someone to explain it to you, but an interesting ride all the same.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I watched this only knowing the basic premise. The film has a compelling plot with unexpected developments. Part of the pleasure is trying to guess the central characters motivation. Excellent performances especially the lead in this unsettling and perplexing puzzle. Credibility is stretched especially the denouement however its flaws it’s a fascinating watch. Whilst the subject matter is horrifying, it’s handled for the most part with relative sensitivity. As a mystery it still leaves us with questions about certain scenes that irritate rather than illuminate. Red rooms has to be lauded for avoiding the generic and confounding our expectations yet not submitting to the literal.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
