The film , if you ’re unfamiliar , charts the making ofThe Room , Tommy Wiseau ’s notoriously naff film that picked up cult definitive status and became utterly legendary in many a college dorm .
The Disaster Artisthas been a fun yield to take in from the sideline , withreports of James Franco – who directed the film , as well as star in it – continuing his telling Wiseau impression between proceeds . video from the set have show that Franco ’s take on Wiseau ’s iconic accent isstrangely perfect .

The film has now screen at Toronto International Film Festival , and legion critics – who were prosperous enough to see the cinema early – have share their thoughts via Twitter . And , as you ’ll read concisely , they seem to have lots of complimentary things to say about the motion-picture show .

I am deeply in love with#TheDisasterArtist . James Franco is perfect as Tommy . My facial expression hurts from smile . — Rebecca Ford ( @Beccamford)September 12 , 2017
Those are some highly impressive responses . It seems likeThe Disaster Artistutterly won over this room of hardened critics , earning a standing ovation that even endured through a post - film Q&A school term . That ’s incredibly rarefied , and a bit odd , which seems quite fitting for a film base onThe Room . Wiseau himself has the film already , too , and apparently , he approves of it“99.9 percent ” .
Franco and his cohorts will be delighted with this initial decisive reaction ; it will for certain run to glowingDisaster Artistreviews , which could well assist the film find an interview outdoors of hardcore Wiseau acolytes . Indeed , that will be the biggest struggle this film faces at the box office : can positive reviews and Good Book - of - mouth elevate the picture show from the religious cult sphere to something more like all-encompassing appeal ? Time will severalise , but notices like this will for certain serve .
However , you could argue that this film does n’t need good reviews or liberal loge office buck . It was clearly made with Wiseau andThe Room ’s ever - maturate fan foundation in mind , and as long as they are felicitous , that ’s surely commission accomplished for Franco and friend .
Alongside the sidekick Franco and their pal Seth Rogen , The Disaster Artistfeatures Bryan Cranston , Alison Brie , Zoey Deutch , Lizzy Caplan , Zac Efron , Kristen Bell , Melanie Griffith , Adam Scott , Josh Hutcherson , and Sharon Stone . Wiseau has a role in it , too . With a dramatis personae like that , and response like this , Franco ’s film is putting a very strong foot forward .
