      Linda Barnard Toronto Star Tinged with melancholy, even in its humourous moments, The Waiting Room is a moving exploration of one kind of Canadian immigrant experience. Rated: 3/4 Jun 2, 2016 Full Review Eric Kohn indieWire Dominated by a unique blend of melancholy and existential crisis, The Waiting Room is a poignant character study about the immigrant experience. Rated: B+ Feb 29, 2016 Full Review Chris Knight National Post The Waiting Room plays out like a kind of cinematic dare: is it possible to make a war movie that doesn't feature a single moment of armed conflict? In that respect, it's a success. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 3, 2016 Full Review Ben Nicholson CineVue Even when The Waiting Room seems not to be saying anything, Jasmin expresses so much -- in expressing so little -- as to utterly beguile. Rated: 3/5 Feb 29, 2016 Full Review Norman Wilner NOW Toronto There's a stark beauty to cinematographer Roland Echavarria's imagery, and Geljo clearly knows his frustrated, melancholy character inside and out. But a couple of ill-advised choices let the air out of The Waiting Room in its final movement. Rated: 3/5 Sep 14, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews
