Leave your thoughts about Room at the Top.
| Monthly Film BulletinMFB CriticsRoom at the Top... signals a bold and personal directional talent in Jack Clayton as well as a rare departure in British film-making. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzTime has rained on its parade and it seems less daring when viewed today. |
| The New York TimesJ. HobermanRoom at the Top is quite conservative in its morality — although its sledgehammer ending still packs an emotional wallop. |
| EmpireDavid ParkinsonAlthough time doesn't flatter the film much, it remains engaging and insightful. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA seminal work that introduced the new British social realism tradition, this superbly acted film is an uncompromising indictment of the British class system; it launched the career of Jack Clayton, in his feature debut, as a new significant voice |
| Goatdog's MoviesMichael W. Phillips, Jr.Probably the best acting Harvey ever did. |
| Film ThreatPhil HallOne of the most important films in the history of British cinema. |
| User ReviewJens TWhat a beautiful film! And a tearjerker too. This is one of the most memorable romance movies you'll ever see. |
| User ReviewIce RYou can literally feel the hearbreak in this movie....Amazing. |
| User ReviewKnox MVery erotic for its time. But that isn't why this movie is good. It's good because it proves why sex is a failure of a solace route. Not to mention some excellent direction. |
