Amazon Prime VideoNetflixAmazon Prime VideoThe tight unit of The Ain’t Rights is our anchor in the film’s world of sliced and torn flesh.

“Green Room” is an overly fussy thriller where dialogue is so direct, and shots are arranged in such a mannered way that you can’t help but be distracted by their precision. This is an intentional flaw in Saulnier’s otherwise flawlessly clean-burning machine. You have to take the bad with the good here: “Green Room” may be too schematic to fully capture the essence of its characters’ groddy milieu, but it’s also economically paced, and gorgeous.
