4.0 out of 5 stars
This is a unique piece of work!
The cold room is an original & outstanding piece of work. Our family thought it was a most enjoyable movie, however, it wouldn't be for the average, everyday normal family, no, this movie is for people who indulge in unique movies. There isn't anything like this elsewhere. I'ts a rare abnormal treasure!

Could have been a great movie, but.......
The idea was interesting. A 16 year old girl who is visiting East Germany with her father is drawn into the past, to the Nazi era. The idea is the only good aspect to the movie, however. First you have a bad script. Throughout the entire movie George Segal mostly just repeats himself - "I'm ashamed of you, Carla." "I expected better of you, Carla". "I'm disappointed...

This review is from: The Cold Room (1984) (DVD)
I saw this movie when it was first released in the '80s. Have been looking for it for years, first on VHS, then DVD. A great movie, in the same vein as Devil's Arithmatic". Believable characters -if you excuse George Segal's lousy performance--Amanda Payes is great. Glad to finally find it.

The idea was interesting. A 16 year old girl who is visiting East Germany with her father is drawn into the past, to the Nazi era. The idea is the only good aspect to the movie, however. First you have a bad script. Throughout the entire movie George Segal mostly just repeats himself - "I'm ashamed of you, Carla." "I expected better of you, Carla". "I'm disappointed in you, Carla". That's about it. Amanda Pays, who showed great acting potential, is wasted with similar banal lines. The lighting is dark and dreary - if it were not for the one red car, the viewer would think the film was Black and White. The music is awful - from the opening credits it grates on the nerves and does not set the mood in various scenes. Finally - the film is flat out boring. In the first hour nothing happens other than the viewer grasping the fact that this teenage girl resents her father and they do not have a close relationship. There are three quick flashes into the past - so brief that the girl seems to dismiss them immediately afterwards and so do those who are watching. During the remainder of the movie, the character moves back and forth in time, and its confusing which time period she is actually in. I really wanted to like this movie - I REALLY liked the possibilities.. but after the climax and resolution it turned out to be one of those movies that is forgotten by the next day.
