Despite its few narrative flaws, The Keeping Room is a necessary addition to on screen depictions of the American Civil War...

| Sep 13, 2022

A Western that revolves around a trio of gun-wielding female leads, and has a clear and consistent feminist message.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 5, 2021

The Keeping Room, the contemplative and assured new thriller from Daniel Barber, sets its odd tone from the first scene, a bleak, bizarre, violent and strangely beautiful bit of wordless cinematic table setting...

| Jan 15, 2021

The Keeping Room is competently made and has a distinct visual style that runs from beginning to end, but it's all aesthetics with little to show underneath.

| Original Score: C | Jul 14, 2020

Handsomely mounted, with the kind of high-end, bleakly beautiful cinematography that is now common amongst period productions, but it's the performances that make it shine.

Interesting revisionist western thriller that ends up blanks. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 30, 2018

For genre-lovers, this tense and nasty drama is definitely worth a look.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 23, 2017

The Keeping Room tells a story we actually need to hear, no matter how many times it'll take for the audience in attendance, or the reader at his Twitter, or the police in the station, to listen.

| Aug 24, 2017

With the feminist themes lurking in the background but never explored in a satisfying manner, The Keeping Room is hard to see as anything other than a missed opportunity.

| Feb 18, 2017

A film in which Daniel Barber returns to the western, focusing again on female figures isolated in a hostile landscape. [Full review in Spanish]

| Dec 19, 2016

At times the film approaches pure horror, shocking the audience and making it expectant of what can happen next. [Full review in Spanish]

| Dec 12, 2016

The director has distanced from the material, translating into a lack of nerves that fails to correct a final shot that closes the film. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 12, 2016

The Keeping Room shines thanks to exchanges between Brit Marling, Hailee Steinfeld and Muna Otaru.

| Original Score: B- | Dec 12, 2016

This movie stays with you and I would highly recommend it. Leave your genre expectations at the door and just enjoy the beauty the environment and seeing some badass women beat up dudes for a change.

| Oct 5, 2016

Julia Hart's script has perceptive things to say about race relations and women's role in wartime.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 15, 2016

...before you know it, the film grabs you by the neck.

| Original Score: 16/20 | Aug 11, 2016

It's a film that is easy to admire and even think about but by refusing to let down its guard and occasionally have at least a little fun with its storytelling, it's not one that's likely to stay with you beyond a few scenes.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 24, 2016

There are a few plot holes and some stiff acting, but the threesome is compelling as the gals get their guns and their revenge.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 24, 2016

A handsomely crafted, slowburning tale that tries a little too hard to place its political themes at the forefront of the action.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 19, 2016

The term "revisionist western" has been overused lately. However, this blend of slow-burning frontier feminism and taut home invasion thriller is probably the most authentically unorthodox take on the genre you will see for a while.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 19, 2016
