Originally shown only in a limited number of California theaters, The Room quickly became a cult film due to its bizarre and unconventional storytelling, technical and narrative issues, and Wiseau's performance, which is often described as off-kilter.
It’s not just bad – it’s intoxicatingly awful. But The Room has developed a cult following – and so has its mysterious creator, writes Nicholas Barber.

The origin story of Greg Sestero and Tommy Wiseau meeting in an acting class in the 1990s seems like a convenient shortcut for the sake of biopic, but Franco’s rendering of their meeting is just about exactly how it shaked out. Greg Sestero recalls Tommy performing a scene from the classic Brando film A Streetcar Named Desire with an overuse of the...

Though The Disaster Artist is accurate in portraying the real events of The Room in many ways, the star-studded effort does have some feats of the imagination. Perhaps the most notable exaggeration is the cameo from Bryan Cranston, who sees Greg’s beard and offers him a role in popular 2000s sitcom Malcolm in the Middle. This interaction never actu...
The Disaster Artist portrays the premiere of The Room as a massive comedic success, with the audience roaring and Tommy accepting that his film fails in dramatic intent but succeeds as a comedy.
