New Rose Hotel (1998)

Based on 9 critic reviews provided by

60	Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum On the very edge of coherence -- but I find its decadent erotic poetry irresistible.
50	New York Post Jonathan Foreman It's moody and atmospheric. But with the exception of a few cool moments that remind you of Ferrara at his best, it's dull and written with little attention paid to basic storytelling.
50	Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas No place for literalists, but Ferrera fans should be pleased with this tale.
50	Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt Quirky acting combines with Ferrara's dark, brooding style to give the throwaway story a noteworthy measure of dramatic and cinematic interest.
40	TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh A painfully claustrophobic picture.
30	The New York Times Affirms that soft-core porn is alive and well in cyberpunk.
30	L.A. Weekly The first two-thirds are turgid enough; in the last, Ferrara begins replaying scenes we've already seen earlier in the film.
20	Village Voice Amy Taubin What's on the screen is so dreadful that it inspires the ontological question "What are films and why is this not one of them?"
13	Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson Virtually unwatchable.
