Over-elaborate
21 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
A member of a troubled family accidentally shoots his own son (or so he thinks - actually another family member is the father) and blames it on a semi-feral kid. Some years later, three of the family's younger generation are separately threatened by strange young men - is one of them the wrongly-accused, now looking for revenge? To put it mildly, it's a contrived set up, and moreover a large part of the drama, and even its title, prove to be pure distraction, as several of the family go on holiday and get scared by the man in room 301, who turns out to have nothing whatsoever to do with the crime. I watched this mostly without emotion, it might have worked better had it been told from a single perspective, but as it is, 'Man in Room 301' never really transcends its elaborate construction.
