Matisse van Rossum’s review published on Letterboxd:
"Oh hai doggie!"
How do I even begin to describe the enigma that is Tommy Wiseau? Who is he? Where does he come from? Who taught him English? Where did he get his face? Who? What? Why? Where? And how? Most importantly, how? Despite the fact that The Room may indeed be the single worst film ever created, there is absolutely no way that I can't give it a 5 out of 5 star rating. In fact, I'm hugely tempted to put it in my top 4 favorite films. I loved every single minute of this bizarre, lopsided masterpiece.
From the terrible green-screen on the roof scenes, to Lisa's insatiable sluttiness, to the broken English of the script, to Doggie, to throwing a football back and forth from two feet away, to an insane amount of plot devices that go absolutely nowhere, to Tommy Wiseau in general, this film has everything you could ever want. Despite the fact that The Room was released in 2003, it somehow manages to look like it was made in the 80's, and this probably has something to do with the fact that Wiseau shot every scene simultaneously on 35mm film and and high-definition video because he was confused about the difference. This film had a $6 million budget, and after watching it, it makes me wonder, WHERE DID ALL THAT MONEY GO???!?!?!? Just add one more twist to the convoluted mystery that is Tommy Wiseau.
There are so many more things I want to talk about in relation to this film, but it would probably turn into a hundred page essay, so I should probably stop while I'm ahead. Just go watch The Room. Just go do it, and "don't worry about it! That's the idea!"
