Guy Maddin delivers another of his wild and whimsical fantasies, tinged with camp and couched in the film grammar of silent cinema. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- It's an exercise in high kitsch which enraptures at first, but becomes increasingly enervating the longer it lasts. Full Review

4 stars out of 5 -- Exquisitely designed, this cornucopia of melodramatic fragments and movie pastiches will enchant Guy Maddin fans.

Rating: 3.5/4 -- Evokes a forgotten aesthetic that feels as if we have unearthed a buried treasure. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- The Forbidden Room is a comic, mystical melodrama that will puzzle your socks off and then return them to you freshly laundered before they were even removed. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- The Forbidden Room is a fun ride for cineastes and was much fêted at festivals. Whether it will appeal to mainstream taste with its insane mash-up of B movie-style parody, silent-movie intertitles and jungle vampires is anyone's guess. Full Review
Times (UK)
Dec 10, 2015
Rating: 4/5 -- It's a demented montage, "a boggling puzzlement" that defies you to search - fruitlessly - for a narrative thread. Full Review
