Inside The Room

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2020)

In 2003 Tommy Wiseau released 'The Room', a film that is considered the worst movie in history. James Franco decided to tell the story behind this disastrous film and its author in 'The Disaster Artist'.
The protagonists are obviously Tommy Wiseau and his best friend Greg Sestero, two movie lovers who decide to make their own movie. James Franco directs this story in a very documentary and plausible tone, making it easy to connect with the characters and believe the story that is being shown on screen, despite being extremely ridiculous. But James Franco treats him with respect. Respect for his characters and the film itself, all this without losing the comical side that is present at all times. Without underestimating his own performance as Tommy Wiseau, which is absolutely perfect, while not ridiculing him.
When it comes to telling the story behind one of the worst movies in history, it is very easy to fall into total mockery and without respect to the original material, but with 'The Disaster Artist' James Franco moves away from this slogan to tell a story both as a tribute and as satirical.
