This underrated 2015 thriller predicted Trump’s America.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 18, 2025

Everyone in the main ensemble delivers powerful performances, but Patrick Stewart is particularly chilling as the aloof white supremacist bar owner Darcy.

| Oct 22, 2024

Committed performances, sharp dialogue, a gripping blend of the visceral and the heartfelt, and a credible sense of authenticity all add up to deliver an indie-grindcore night out to remember.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 18, 2024

One wild, unexpected ride the whole way through, with a brutally satisfying ending.

| Feb 22, 2023

Green Room doesn't shy away from the violence and shocks, creating some relentlessly disturbing aesthetics. The cast is stellar and the suspense keeps you on the edge of your seat.

| Oct 28, 2022

As a whole the story is pretty simple, even a bit familiar. But once you dig in, you realize this thing has a pulse all its own. And once you’re in its grip it doesn’t let go.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 21, 2022

Green Room has sensitivity and empathy to spare, but it’s also hard and unforgiving as steel, because it knows that’s the way the world is.

| Jun 16, 2022

An intelligent, well-made, and relentless thriller.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 15, 2022

Jeremy Saulnier's new film Green Room is a triumph in edge of your seat thrills and nail-biting suspense.

| Original Score: B+ | Nov 5, 2021

Short on depth but long on visceral thrills, it's Old Testament moviemaking, with the adage about an eye for an eye expanding to also include arms, legs, torsos and, once killer dogs are introduced, even jugulars.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 18, 2021

Not even the whimper of a wounded dog can humanize some characters, no matter how cheap the sentiment might be.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 28, 2021

Wound tighter than a top E string, Green Room is not just a great twist on the gory survival thriller - it's a great gory survival thriller full stop.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 8, 2021

GREEN ROOM stands as home to one of the finest hours of a stupendous actor who died way too young, a fine villainous turn from one of the all-time great performers, and tense, unforgettable filmcraft.

| Apr 16, 2021

A nasty piece of work, a tense Tasmanian Devil tornado of a movie with solid performances and a DIY feel that meshes perfectly with its punk rock heart.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 3, 2021

Green Room is full of adrenaline, with an outstanding cast, and a pace that leaves you craving for more.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 1, 2021

Green Room makes no wrong decisions, and too few right ones. It retreats when it needs to advance. The danger for the characters is palpable enough, but the film itself never feels dangerous...

| Jan 6, 2021

Stewart is incredibly understated in his performance, which is effective yet disappointing, considering this provided an occasion to play an extremely against-type role.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 4, 2020

A sordid, ultra-violent thrill ride of a movie.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 13, 2020

A compact, streamlined, punch-you-in-the-teeth thriller.

| Original Score: A | Jul 3, 2020

[A] grimy punk-siege masterpiece that would make John Carpenter proud.
