Critic Reviews

Jonathan Rosenbaum

On the very edge of coherence -- but I find its decadent erotic poetry irresistible. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

No place for literalists, but Ferrera fans should be pleased with this tale. Read full review

Jonathan Foreman

It's moody and atmospheric. But with the exception of a few cool moments that remind you of Ferrara at his best, it's dull and written with little attention paid to basic storytelling. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

A painfully claustrophobic picture. Read full review

Janet Maslin

Affirms that soft-core porn is alive and well in cyberpunk. Read full review

Chuck Stephens

The first two-thirds are turgid enough; in the last, Ferrara begins replaying scenes we've already seen earlier in the film. Read full review

Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson

Virtually unwatchable. Read full review

New Rose Hotel, I admit, is not actually a good movie (though it is). It lacks in dramatic tension and in substance, material. Why do some rate it up then? I do so for the style and the acting. I think you have to be a fan of Walken, Defoe, literature, noir, and enjoy looking at Argento redNew Rose Hotel, I admit, is not actually a good movie (though it is).

Too chaotic for its own good, mostly because the experience feels too spaced out in a concept that doesn't make its characters or the situations they are undergoing somehow more substantial to the viewer, or maybe it was my problem because of the massive lack of interest I developed in theToo chaotic for its own good, mostly because the experience feels too spaced out in a concept that doesn't make its characters or the situations they are undergoing somehow more substantial to the viewer, or maybe it was my problem because of the massive lack of interest I developed in the story and its protagonists.

A very poor film from Abel Ferrara.… Expand
