Leave your thoughts about 28 Hotel Rooms.
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin... one of the movie's points is that when you are cocooned with your lover, intoxicated and infatuated, you don't care much about the rest of the world |
| OregonianMarc MohanThe movie's conceit grows a bit stale even with a short running time, and ultimately the whole thing feels more like an acting workshop than a full-fledged human story. |
| Screen InternationalTim GriersonA smart, incisive examination of how every love affair eventually comes with strings attached. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinDespite the familiar setup, this is no "Same Time, Next Year," what with its hot-sheets trysts, full-frontal flashes and frank language. But the brief - sometimes very brief - encounters glimpsed here between the film's leads and sole characters (billed only as "Man" and "Woman") are inventive and telling. |
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayIn its own small way, by documenting the petty panic of two people who want to be together but are otherwise entangled, 28 Hotel Rooms is often masterful. |
| Time OutEric HynesMessina and Ireland thrive under that gaze, and dismaying affectations aside-the characters go needlessly unnamed - the movie articulates the enduring allure of a love defined, and heightened, by restrictions. |
| Village VoiceMichael NordineNot showing us every aspect of their lives is a fine, even novel, approach, but merely telling us about them instead feels like a fruitless middle ground. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonIt's an intriguing and well-acted, if gimmicky and repetitive, cinematic experiment that nevertheless feels emotionally detached. |
| Shockya.comPerri NemiroffA little dreary and often feels like an experiment, but if you're open to trying something new that requires a degree of effort, it's unusually unique and immersive. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezWe're supposed to take their self-pity at face value, an impression that's emphasized by a grinding monotonous humorlessness. |
