Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 02/16/2024
The length of the series, which is padded with extraneous material... and scenes that run longer than necessary, dilutes its effects, saps the drama of energy. Go to Full Review

Overall, I enjoyed the puzzle this show presented. It was hard to watch at times, and tackles really dark themes, but the acting is so great... Go to Full Review

As The Crowded Room's title suggests, the limited series is crowded with fascinating ideas, moments and performances, but they are obfuscated by a slogging, non-linear structure that never becomes greater than the sum of its parts. Go to Full Review

The performances and artistic direction elevate a story that never reaches its full potential. There’s something here, but it never gets out of its own way long enough to dive into the murkier waters the story deserves. Go to Full Review

Benefits from an A-List cast, but it’s not enough to make it worth a watch. Go to Full Review

Matthew Charles L Nov 28 I wasn't familiar with Tom Holland before this but he is an amazing actor. And Amanda Seyfried was not a favorite of mine either but my opinion of her changed from this one movie alone. It is slow at times or else I would give it five stars. I really don't understand all the poor reviews from the so called "critics". I think it is a great glimpse into the mind of a mentally ill young man who has created his own world to deal with his abuse. I would recommend this to anyone. Finally I will add that I think they could have included all the major and important story lines into a few less episodes. But still loved this series! See more Lilly S Sep 14 This series was fantastic. The first few episodes can be hard and uncomfortable to watch, but if you stick to it, it will make alot of sense. The series was gripping and the acting was amazing. See more HOLD ON TO H Sep 13 unlike most of the people that made a review, I think this show its nothing but a piece of art. Great acting and the way this story get your full attention its just mind blowing. Tom Holland did an amazing job! See more Setare H Sep 8 I honestly don’t understand why some people had negative things to say about this series, whether about the length or anything else. I thought it was absolutely amazing. I’ve already watched it multiple times, and everyone I’ve shown it to loved it just as much and kept recommending it further. It’s a shame the series didn’t get the recognition it truly deserved. Tom and Amanda played insanely well their performances were truly outstanding. See more Lisa M Sep 7 I watched this all in one go as I couldn't stop. Tom Holland made me "feel". I liked the whole cast and their portrayal of how minds can shield themselves from pain. The mother also did so....obviously. See more Brian T. @briantheis Sep 6 Another example of a movie or show where I have no idea why the “critics” rated it so bad. This show was very good and is “so long” because it dives deep into the complexity of DID. My wife has her doctorate in Psychology and she loved it too. Absolutely worthy of five stars.
