Review of The Immaculate Room (2022) by Visiblemode — 11 Apr 2023

Ok….where do I start? The positives: the premise is a clever way of filming a movie on a low budget. Moving on to the rest, I can only say negative things. I don’t mean this with an ounce of malice toward anyone involved.

I’ll try to be brief but here we go: The premise makes no sense. Why are they in the room? Is it reality TV? A science experiment? It just seems like a bad use for the time, the facilities, and the money.

It would be an unwatchable TV show. The movie was all the highlights strung together and even that lacked excitement. It would make an unethical and uninformative experient, and what lab has that kind of money to waste? There just seems to be no reason for this place to exist.

The characters, while competently portrayed illustrate zero chemistry. It doesn’t seem like they know each other, much less love each other. The burden of being in the room sets in way too quickly, the entire thing would have been more believable and watchable if there had been a contrast between the “honeymoon” period at the start and the darker times to come.

Speaking of the darker times, most of those are so dark because the gf character is a massively cliche female character. She’s illogical, petty, untrusting, greedy, and selfish. Yes this isn’t meant to represent all women, but try layering good and bad traits, it will give the character dimension and come across less like it was written with a misogynistic world view.

Finally, and honestly there is way more to say, I’ll focus on the final story arc and conclusion. The end portion of the story is anticlimactic and the actual ending made me laugh out loud, and it wasn’t meant to be funny.

In conclusion, I’m sorry if any one who was involved with the production of this movie reads this review. It’s just my honest opinion. The challenges won, on this one, unfortunately.
