Thriller During a raging snowstorm, a drifter returns home to the blue-collar bar located in the remote Canadian town where he was born. When he offers to settle an old debt with a grizzled bartender by telling him a story, the night's events quickly spin into a dark tale of mistaken identities, double-crosses and shocking violence. You're not going to believe what happened at The Oak Room.

United States	Christy Lemire rogerebert.com	"Back and forth 'The Oak Room' goes, without ever building the tension it ostensibly seeks (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut	"The Oak Room is a low-action thriller but very intelligently constructed (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Canada	Andrew Parker The Gate	"The Oak Room is a sparse, chilly, and well paced bit of genre fare that’s as in love with the art of storytelling as it is with building menace and suspense."	POS
Canada	Andrew Mack Screen Anarchy	"A film that exceeds expectations (...) The film proves once again that sometimes all you need is a good story to captivate your audience. The Oak Room has at least three."	POS
