	Author	Review
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter	"James Franco scores on both sides of the camera in this wildly funny Ed Wood-esque ode to great, bad moviemaking"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"[Boasts] a genuine capacity to delight, whether or not the audiences in question have seen 'The Room'."	POS
United States	Sam Fragoso The Wrap	"James Franco celebrates bad movies in a good one (...) [A] funny and sweetly sad portrait"	POS
United States	Jada Yuan Vulture	"It may soon join Tim Burton's 'Ed Wood' in the ranks of great movies about terrible movies."	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"'The Disaster Artist' largely works because it brings us closer to Tommy while reveling in the same ingredients that have turned him into an icon."	POS
United States	Erik Childress The Playlist	"It's James Franco's best performance since his Oscar-nominated turn in '127 Hours' and as a director it is nice to finally seem him embrace the comfort zone of comedy"	POS

United States	Joshua Rothkopf Time Out	"Scenes that re-create 'The Room's shoddy sets and porn-grade acting have an insider appeal (...) But the central relationship is undernourished (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Franco rules and the movie is really, really funny, and that’s all that truly matters."	POS
