Flicks, Steve Newall

As documentary-style celebrity talking heads attest pre-credits, The Room is a one-of-a-kind movie phenomenon. Don’t worry, though, you won’t need a working knowledge of The Room to enjoy this recounting of its origins and production - historical events to which no adjectives can truly do justice. And, instead of doco dryness, artistic hero worship, or movie biz insiderism, The Disaster Artist proves to be a hilarious and heartfelt tale of ambition, friendship, and the imponderable mind of creative force Tommy Wiseau, played here in astonishingly believable fashion by director James Franco.

Vulture

It may soon join Tim Burton's Ed Wood in the ranks of great movies about terrible movies.

Variety

[Boasts] a genuine capacity to delight, whether or not the audiences in question have seen "The Room."

Time Out

Know that you're in for a movie that flogs its fan service so vigorously (forget about a wink - this is a squint), it barely remembers to be anything more than a mildly weird story of friendship and betrayal. Maybe that's all it needs to be.

The Guardian

The dazzle of the cast and the targeted in-jokes never take away from the film's core messaging about the importance of believing in one's own ability as an artist.

Sydney Morning Herald

It feels like an insider's movie where the guys who've succeeded in making it inside have a good laugh at those who haven't.

Stuff

... as actor Paul Scheer said at The Disaster Artist's Toronto Film Festival premiere, "it's the perfect prequel for those who've never seen The Room and the perfect sequel for those who have".

Rolling Stone

Franco hits a new career peak by making sure his film is as heartfelt as it is hilarious.

Hollywood Reporter

Strikes a giddy, winning balance between hilarity and heart.

Herald Sun

Strikes a giddy, winning balance between hilarity and heart.
