Room at the Top Ratings & Reviews
The New Leader
Manny Farber
Room has a tricked-up impressiveness that holds the spectator's mind long after the movie's windup.
4Columns
Melissa Anderson
One of the bleakest movies I know, Room at the Top also ranks among the sultriest: a wildfire smoldering in a desolate landscape. Director Jack Clayton deftly showcases the lust-drunk faces and entangled bodies of protagonists Joe and Alice.
Common Sense Media
Kat Halstead
Classic portrayal of ruthless ambition has sex and violence.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Complicated characters, a searing indictment of upper-crust snobbery, and a startling sexual frankness for its time (an X rating in the UK, banned in several cities in the US) all contribute to this movie's potency.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
Harvey impresses, but it's Signoret, giving one of her career best performances, who shines.
Screen Slate
Patrick Dahl
Francis and Clayton swing and glide their furtive camera through exquisitely blocked scenes in which characters are handsomely planted across multiple planes like a topiary.
Film Threat
Phil Hall
One of the most important films in the history of British cinema.
Variety
An adult, human picture.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Time has rained on its parade and it seems less daring when viewed today.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
A seminal work that introduced the new British social realism tradition, this superbly acted film is an uncompromising indictment of the British class system; it launched the career of Jack Clayton, in his feature debut, as a new significant voice
New York Times
A.H. Weiler
Basically cheerless and somber, but it has a strikingly effective view.
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
Probably the best acting Harvey ever did.
