Green Room

Green Room

Official Description:

Broke, tired and at each other’s throats after a cancelled gig, a young punk rock band accepts a sketchy matinee show to get themselves home. When they stumble upon something they weren’t supposed to witness, the quartet is trapped in a terrifying siege. Directed by Jeremy Saulnier (of 2013 Cannes Film Festival FIPRESCI Prize winner Blue Ruin), the film stars Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots, Alia Shawkat, and Patrick Stewart. (Green Room is preceded by the previously announced short film The Chickening from directors Nick DenBoer and Davy Force).

Why It’s a Must-See: I heard nothing but good things about Jeremy Saulnier’s Blue Ruin from the time it premiere at Cannes in 2013 to when I eventually saw it at Sundance in 2014. I don’t intend to be behind the curve on his follow Green Room, which features Patrick Stewart playing a neo-Nazi. Saulnier has proven he knows how to deliver a potent mix of thrills, pathos, and dark comedy, and hopefully he’ll have another smash success on his hands with his new movie.
