"A chilling immersion into a place and time fraught with constant danger, The Royal Hotel reunites Kitty Green and Julia Garner to electrifying effect." (Rotten Tomatoes)

"A mightily effective adrenaline rush of a movie, with powerful performances all round and precise direction from Kitty Green. Watch it on the big screen and allow it to properly get your heart pounding and palms sweating." (Empire Magazine)

"Garner and Henwick are doing the kind of acting that looks easy but isn’t. It’s a film of flickering doubts and accumulating, justifiable paranoia." (Chicago Tribune)

"The central terror of Green’s ferociously tense, intelligent movie is the terror of recognition." (Los Angeles Times)
