Absolutely the worst movie.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Blistering performances.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Greetings from Lithuania.So i did watched "Four Rooms" (1995) many years ago and what i do remember that it was hilariously funny movie. Tim Roth was just amazing in here, he kinda glues the whole segments. The story itself is set in one hotel, and there are separate stories, which i really liked them all. Acting was pretty good for this material, with like i said exception of Tim Roth - he was great in here. Writing and directing was a bit uneven at the times, but it worked really well into one hilariously "don't take it to seriously and enjoy it for what it is" fun movie.Overall, "Four Rooms" isn't going to be remembered for its writing or directing or acting, but it could be remembered for its fun - it doesn't take itself seriously nor shouldn't you - just relax and enjoy the ride, it is a hilarious one.

I missed this on initial release, despite being a fan of all four directors, and have somehow missed it on video/DVD/TV in the intervening years. With The Hateful Eight coming out soon I've been re-watching all of Tarantino's work so far and decided to fill in the one gap in my collection. I simply can't believe how bad this film is. Every bit of it fails. It's not funny, it's not interesting, it's not any good! From the opening cartoon titles and terrible music it felt poorly constructed. But that's nothing compared to the actors. Tim Roth is awful! His strangely mannered performance is embarrassing with no comic timing. You can't blame him entirely though. Everyone (with the exception of Jennifer Beals and Marisa Tomei) is terrible. Every line falls flat. I'm still in shock how awful the finished film is considering the talent involved. If you're a fan of Tarantino's, of any of the actors in this or of cinema in general avoid this like Ebola!

Ted (Tim Roth) is the bellhop at the old Mon Signor Hotel in Hollywood. Elspeth (Madonna), Athena (Valeria Golino), Jezebel (Sammi Davis), Raven (Lili Taylor), and Eva (Ione Skye) are a coven of witches trying to release the goddess Diana. Elspeth brought along her daughter Kiva (Alicia Witt). Husband and wife Siegfried (David Proval) and Angela (Jennifer Beals) are role playing a fantasy game. A couple (Antonio Banderas, Tamlyn Tomita) leave to go to a New Year's Eve party and has Ted watch their kids. Ted calls his boss Betty (Kathy Griffin) and have a long talk with Margaret (Marisa Tomei). Betty tells him about important famous director Chester Rush (Quentin Tarantino) in the penthouse.Tim Roth is going insane with his performance. His manic energy gives this a drive. However the disparate stories rambles on and on. It's a mess and not a compelling one. Tim Roth's strange act is weird but it gets tiresome. That's basically the whole movie. The witchy start is a simple sex romp. Beals and Proval are boring. The movie loses my interest. The kids are OK and they end with a fun scene. Then Tarantino loses me completely. There is maybe one passable story or one and a half at most. There are too many boring parts in this.

I registered to this site especially to warn the world: don't waste your time on this movie. It seems to be the result of overconfident Hollywood producers who figured that some critical mass of props, make up, "atmosphere", homages and mannerisms can create a masterpiece. Or at least a watchable feature film. The result is a collection of four pointless sequences (definitely not "stories"), only the third of which is mildly entertaining. I know that almost 20 years after its production, very few people will come across this movie. However, if my review can deter even one human from throwing away 90 minutes of his/her life, it's worth the effort. Oh, and in case you're a fan of the "colossal failure" genre - this thing is not colossal in any sense. It doesn't even deserve sarcasm. Just ignore it.
