Critics Consensus

Green Room delivers unapologetic genre thrills with uncommon intelligence and powerfully acted élan
 

Audience Consensus

Green Room is a wild ride that will have you shaking in your boots long after the credits roll. With a cast that brings Shakespearean drama to a punk rock setting, this movie is like a mosh pit of Simon & Garfunkel, Fugazi, and Slayer. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you’re looking for a relentless thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, Green Room is the movie for you. Just be prepared to lose a limb or two along the way.

 For a mess, it’s lively. But from Saulnier we’d have liked something more.

 Its go-for-broke horror aesthetic a real world cavalcade of terror that had me noticeably shaking long after the film itself had come to an end.

 How can you resist a film that, metaphorically, throws Simon & Garfunkel, Fugazi and Slayer into the same moshpit?

 TOP CRITIC
 Smartly cast, Stewart brings an almost Shakespearean edge to the drama, delivering lines such as “all is for nought” in the manner of a theatrical king surveying the devastation of a five-act tragedy.

 Saulnier’s undoubted skills as a director just about outweigh his fondness for gore.

 [A] dourly aggressive, in-your-face thriller.

 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.

 An intelligent, well-made, and relentless thriller.

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

 Lauren Bradshaw
 Fangirl Freakout
 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.

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

 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.
