Reviews

Lewis Pullman is the best actor in this movie. In every single scene in this movie, he shines. He has very expressive eyes. His acting is the best part of this movie. There are moments in this movie where it looks like it's a good movie but the exact moment Chris Hemsworth`s character shows up at EL Royale the movie goes to shit!! Every scene of Chris Hemsworth`s in this movie is a cringe. he was

**_Tarantino-esque flick about one rainy night at a dubious motel in Northern California_** In 1969, four strangers spend the night at the El Royale hotel on the border of California & Nevada, near Lake Tahoe. These visitors consist of a priest (Jeff Bridges), a singer (Cynthia Erivo), a vacuum cleaner salesman (Jon Hamm) and an edgy young woman (Dakota Johnson). They’re going to have an unforg

You can think to yourself: "Oh, this is what it would look if I were in Paris. This is what it would look

More often than not, the fragmented, time-jump-y form of storytelling (a la Tarantino) doesn't do it for me. But _Bad Times at the El Royale_ nails the format, and just about everything else while it's at it. _Final rating:★★★★ - Very strong appeal. A personal favourite._
_Bad Times At The El Royale_ was exceptional. Through its preview period, I was hooked from the teaser trailer to the 24th TV Spot released. Drew Goddard knew how to make a wonderous and exciting thriller through its magnificent casting and so much more. All these trailers set high expectations which made me worry a little bit as I don’t like getting myself too excited for movies because sometimes
