Stephen M @RT25697976 05/14/2024 I love that this film doesn't force convenient answers or endings for everything. It is a uniquely told story, which is something that I think a lot of filmmakers miss while trying to produce wow factors. In this film, the best special effect is in the acting, and one actress carries it all. There are a few things that the filmmaker tries to cleverly imply that left me wanting to see the idea fleshed out a bit more. Overall, as a film with a character that the audience can invest in and watch evolve, and a unique story composed of ideas instead of recycled material, this one is worth watching.

The nothingness that occurs, the terrible casting on her phone calls (especially her bf) & the anticlimactic ending.. don’t waste your time. (Or.. recommended to your friends on April Fools’ Day.) See more Mr J @RT10722376 04/04/2024 By exploiting it's minimalism, this micro budget single room movie has more going on under the hood. Is it a great movie? No... but it is a good movie. See more Lawrence G @RT21907493 04/02/2024 I always appreciate these movies that tell an ambitious story with little settings or characters on screen. DIY stuff. Especially this with the very Benson & Moorhead vibe with the cool fluid, supernatural mythos going on - not really explained fully and better for it. You can tell care went into the writing and there's a lot of ideas going on. Creates a certain eerie purgatorial mood. I thought it was interesting. See more Valerii Ege D @RT37895442 03/23/2024 I always support low-budget movies like Room 0. The debut of the director and actress. But the film loses its seriousness when the story claims more than the budget promises. Especially if you can't show it, you cannot deliver. See more TTFT S @RT92916888 03/20/2024 This is storytelling 101. Minimal effects, 1 location, 1 physical body on the screen, and a whole world unfolds out of it. Masterful storytelling, on par with the likes of Hitchcock. The pacing is so interesting. With one person in a room, a lot of reading, a lot of silence, a lot of darkness, it still flies by and feels fast paced. It manipulates your perception of time - and space. It's like time vertigo. You give us just enough to keep us intrigued while keeping us guessing. I always felt like I had just enough of an idea of what was happening so that I didn't lose interest or check out - but I never had a firm grasp of where it was going, so it kept me invested. And from the very first scene, I felt confident that the movie knew exactly where it was going and would be meticulous in how/when it would give me morsels to lead me to the next step. It is a beautifully and interestingly crafted story about how we can find ourselves caught up in our own cycles and problems while life and the ones we love pass on and pass by right before our eyes. To express such a grand and universal sentiment within the minimalist framework of such an elegantly simple canvas is such an achievement to accomplish as a storyteller and a filmmaker. It is refreshingly innovative. More films like this, please. See more Read all reviews
