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

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

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.

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.

CineVue
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.

Rating: 4/5 --
It's a demented montage, "a boggling puzzlement" that defies you to search - fruitlessly - for a narrative thread.
