	Author	Review
United States	Drew Hunt Chicago Reader	"It sounds like a busy film, and it is in certain instances, but it's also incredibly graceful and beautiful"	POS
United Kingdom	Beatrice Loayza The Guardian	"Ferrara’s adaptation doesn’t meddle with nostalgia until the final act, but the movie’s otherwise moody, atmospheric quality – punctuated by funky trip-hop interludes – captures the text’s dreamy intentions"	POS
United States	David Stratton Variety	"A well-made and fiercely well-performed erotic drama that perversely fails to deliver on the thriller aspects promised in the early stages"	NEU
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"This filmmaker's work still retains its peculiar innocence"	POS
United States	Keith Phipps AV Club	"[Ferrara] has never made a film quite like 'New Rose Hotel', and with any luck he never will again (...) An exhaustingly talky, virtually plotless film"	NEG
