Critics' reviews

"Francois Truffaut's testimony of obsession, 'The Green Room', is perhaps the most unheralded film of his career, and surely one of his most personal."

TV Guide
"It is a most demanding, original work and one must meet it on its own terms, without expectations of casual pleasures."

Vincent Canby: The New York Times
"Truffaut is attempting a philosophical disquisition on the presence of the lost, the ways in which the dead remain a part of our lives, but his theme can't escape the morbid eccentricity of his characters."

Dave Kehr: Chicago Reader
"'The Green Room' may deserve a special place in the annals of misbegotten literary adaptations."

Gary Arnold: The Washington Post
"Truffaut's lack of range as an actor is not helped by the script's purple prose."
