What Others Said

RalphRahal: The Roommate is a psychological thriller that starts with some promise but quickly slips into familiar territory. The setup is intriguing, with Leighton Meester delivering a solid performance that brings just enough edge to keep things mildly interesting. Unfortunately, the movie doesn’t take any risks and sticks too closely to the formula, making the plot feel predictable and the suspense more muted than it should be. The pacing doesn’t help either; the first half feels like it’s dragging, and if you’re not fully invested, you might find your attention wandering. Visually, the movie looks polished, and the college setting feels realistic, but the story lacks depth. While it’s watchable, especially if you’re just looking for a casual late-night movie, it doesn’t do much to stand out in its genre. It’s not a bad movie, it’s just a forgettable one. If you’re up for something light and don’t mind a few thriller clichés, it might still be worth a shot. Otherwise, it’s the kind of movie you’ll struggle to stay awake through, literally.
