The Royal Hotel - Reviews

...a perceptive look at the realities of working at a service job as an outsider when class and gender come into play...

...a chilling and tense examination of the Outback’s toxic alcohol-fueled culture.

...feel harsher than The Assistant, though it’s neither as economical nor as soul-crushing. At least The Royal Hotel has what passes for an upbeat ending.

Kitty Green’s dread-inducing vision of women on the verge.

More cinema of ominous discomfort from Kitty Green as she takes us to an out-of-the-way Australian boozer for some low-boiling violence.

A slight but mightily effective adrenaline rush of a movie, with powerful performances all round and precise direction from Kitty Green.

...a very tense and well acted psychological thriller and outback noir...

Hugo Weaving is gruesomely credible in this slow-burn take on Australia’s drinking culture.

...med en suverän Julia Garner i huvudrollen är en suggestivt otäck thriller om utsatthet och styrkan att till sist säga ifrån.

...et effektivt, urovækkende eksempel på, hvordan kvinder som en selvforsvarsstrategi konstant må justere, hvordan de fremstår, når de befinder sig i et utrygt og giftigt, maskulint rum.
