REVIEW: 'The Crowded Room,' starring Tom Holland and Amanda Seyfried, confuses vagueness for cleverness, leaving you bored to death.
Both John Cusack and Leonardo DiCaprio were set to play Billy in previous attempts at adaptation, both of them as movies. Cusack’s version even had James Cameron attached as director. Amusingly, both actors wound up starring in other movies featuring a lot of unofficial thematic crossover with Keyes’ book. Hey, if you can’t get the real thing made…For the most part, it feels like TV has — or should have — moved beyond this kind of puzzle-box structure.
The maddening part is that the last few episodes, where every secret is out in the open, are a vast improvement over what’s come before.Emmy Rossum all do their best work in this phase of things. The nature of the material all but invites Holland to start chewing the scenery at this stage, but he manages to sell things in an impressively restrained fashion. And there are some genuinely affecting, powerful moments once all the chicanery is set aside.
