An unremarkable low-budget, primitive, chamber film. There are actually many. Nothing remarkable, if not for one exception - acting Tommy Wiseau. It is unique and makes you speechless. It's not some bad game. Wiseau plays neither the mentally retarded under drugs, nor the robot, vainly trying to mortify a person. This is really remarkable, funny, but exhausting.
At the heart of the script is a primitive twist that we've seen thousands and thousands of times. Dynamics at absolute zero. Dialogues are constantly stymied and repeated, reminiscent of scripts for children’s mornings. Plus the author's passing self-admiration. That's all.
But it just so happened that in parallel with the Room, I watched a Hollywood film that collected half a yard of profits and received good reviews from viewers and critics. So the consistency and sanity in the Wiseau script is much more than in the Hollywood hit, the semantic content of which is just an insult to everyone who has not experienced a severe traumatic brain injury. Therefore, it is difficult to say the room is the rule or the exception.
