Review For The Playroom | |
| Between the loaded conversations and metaphors, and the phony overlay of a children's fairy tale, The Playroom can't stop telegraphing themes and interpreting itself. There's nothing left for the audience to do. Scott Tobias-NPR "The Playroom" captures the malaise of mid-'70s suburbia with a merciless accuracy not seen since Ang Lee's 1997 film, "The Ice Storm." Stephen Holden-New York Times The Playroom jettisons all things cute, but still takes flight by portraying the characters, adult and juvenile, under direct lighting, and asking you if you care about them. Chris Packham-Village Voice Sensitively wrought family drama told from the children's perspective. Frank Scheck-Hollywood Reporter A chamber piece cousin to The Ice Storm, The Playroom hones in on the mentality of so many irresponsible '70s era parents whose children grew up to be much better people than their parents. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com What little story there is has no sense of real life, no matter much the film pretends to be about children learning hard truths. Noel Murray-AV Club [An] open-ended affair and slightly unsatisfying for it. Joshua Rothkopf-Time Out New York Lacking much in the way of character depth, the film attempts to fill the gap with melodrama. Tomas Hachard-Slant Magazine | |
