In Theaters:
The Roommate
In a film whose sole operating principle seems to be that its female co-stars share a resemblance, the audience is asked to sit still for roughly an hour until a sweet-natured college freshman finally figures out that her roommate is a psychopath. While it’s not unusual for viewers to figure such things out before a protagonist in a B-movie of this sort, Sonny Malhi’s screenplay takes her cluelessness to a truly stratospheric level. Much is made of the sweet-natured freshman, Sara, having just moved from Des Moines, which in the world of this film is a magical, mystical place where mental illnesses are unknown and violence a foreign concept…
The Roommate is playing pretty much everywhere in the known universe, for some reason. Read the full review at filmcritic.com.
