Entertainment Reviews:
4 stars out of 5 -- Exquisitely designed, this cornucopia of melodramatic fragments and movie pastiches will enchant Guy Maddin fans.
Empire
Fans of the Canadian director will know to leave narrative expectations at the door and go with the spiraling flow as the action moves from a submarine to Oracle Bones Hospital to a train bound for Bogota from Berlin -- just a few of the phantasm-charged settings.
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Evokes a forgotten aesthetic that feels as if we have unearthed a buried treasure.

Maddin remains a unique treasure, and The Forbidden Room is one hell of a trove.

Daily Telegraph (UK)
Guy Maddin delivers another of his wild and whimsical fantasies, tinged with camp and couched in the film grammar of silent cinema.

Chicago Reader
Rating: 4/5 --
It is sometimes brilliant and sometimes boring, but even the boring parts have an eccentric sparkle.

Guardian
... one of [director Guy Maddin's] most accomplished films and it's sure to delight his cult audience.
