Reviews
"Four of the hottest indie directors--Anders, Rockwell, Tarantino, and Rodrigues--miss a unique opportunity to display their idiosyncratic talents resulting in a tedious anthology in which 2 segments are inept, one barely decent, and one OK (guess whose)" — Emmanuel Levy, VarietyVariety: Four Rooms Review
"The results are mainly awful, and even Roth got saddled with a mannered part that he can't comfortably play" — Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader Chicago Reader: Four Rooms Review
