You know, it would be really quite terrible if we were to find ourselves trapped in the midst of an armed White Supremacist business operation which uses entertainment as a cover for nefarious schemes which sicken and enslave the whole of the culture whilst using non-whites as scapegoats for the damage and hostility which follows, further fuelling their cause, right? right?
This is the film Eli Roth wishes he could make.
I'm convinced this shit really happened and I was watching real footage. I've said movies have felt real before, but my word this was REAL!
If ya'll thought Furiosa and Rey were bad ass ladies, wait until you see Amber (Imogen Poots)...holy guacamole.
Dr. Xavier trades in his wheelchair for a gang of psychotic neo nazis. Patrick Stewart plays the ultimate puppet master. The man is terrifying. He's cold, menacing, and sinister.
This movie isn't just violent and gory for the sake of being violent and gory.. (cough*ELIROTH*cough). The violence comes from a place of plot and character, there's a purpose for it.
Jeremy Saulnier knows how to handle tone…
Liked this but super underwhelmed. Great gore and a few intense scenes where you really have no idea where they're going. But for a film that relies on punk as a core part of it's personality, they didn't really use it a whole lot? It just felt like a way of establishing an aesthetic that never felt fully utilized. The politics were there but the energy just wasn't.
Watched with some Twitter friends through Netflix Party! Great time!
“let’s pretend”
nothing better than a bad bitch with a boxcutter. this is still so gnarly
94/100
Green Room doesn't fuck around. Clocking in at a lean and mean 95 minute run-time, Jeremy Saulnier's third feature film is unnervingly swift, curating the entirety of its gruesome atmosphere through quiet character moments. Akin to Saulnier's previous (and brilliant) effort Blue Ruin, it settles into an indistinct, melancholic rhythm, only to be ripped to shreds by furious specters visualized in an array of ghastly imagery. With a talented cast more than capable of handling the material, success was inevitable, but Saulnier hits a grand slam instead of a mere home run, catapulting a piece of B genre heaven into a genuine masterclass of suspense.
Its tension doesn't come from traditional audience/director alchemy or jump-scare tactics, but palpable fear…
A moral tale on the hypocrisy of punk rock music. Limbs only become severed and throats only get slashed when they chase a dollar and lie in bed with nazis. There's a possible point to be made about playing an anti-nazi song in your setlist, but you're still taking their money. The posturing of the stage makes them decry capitalism and public figures, but they run towards the arms of police officers when their world starts to crumble. Green Room is very specific in how false their punk beliefs are when challenged. There really isn't any empathy or much humanity in this movie, but Sauliner wraps his hand tightly around the throat of viewers and there's a kind of sick joy in seeing and feeling blood, steel and death on the cusp of your very fragile body.
love to keep every single muscle in my body clenched for 95 minutes straight
"We didn't do anything."
A lean genre microcosm on the dangers of passivity, mostly. The punk-posturing bandmates made complicit in an act of collective hatred & violence by allowing it to fester in their scene/community/country. The best decision Saulnier makes here is presenting that collective hatred as restrained, organized, and calculating, even civil (I half expected them to plan a brunch at one point!), suggesting that its key to survival is to subtly, and not unintelligibly, infect the same groups & spaces we operate in.
There's also a really interesting thread, for a film many have read as sadistic, about violence *not* being in our nature; Saulnier choosing to highlight all kinds of different ways violence is taught to us (the constant…
