In all, Backrooms is a great chance to have a stressful time at the movies. When Hollywood is reduced to lowest possible effort nostalgia, we can turn to independent filmmakers to break new ground and explore complex themes.
A wonderful two-hander that is mostly a double character study with the occasional touch of a Soderbergh heist.
It sounds like a backhanded recommendation, but watch The Drama even if it’s going to make you squirm in your seat for the entire runtime. Don’t miss it!
