The Royal Hotel

Director Kitty Green (The Assistant) reunites with Jennfier Garner for this tense drama in which two American backpackers risk a job in a remote Australian pub where they are confronted with unruly locals and a situation that spirals out of their control. Inspired by the documentary “Hotel Coolgardie”.

“Garner and co-star Jessica Henwick navigate the picture’s mixture of drama, suspense and horror superbly, leaving the audience fearful that this slow-burn powder keg will eventually go off — although we’re not sure who the casualties will be.” ~Tim Grierson, Screen Daily

“The Royal Hotel doesn’t provide much background or context to its characters, which gives the film an unpredictability that feeds into its slow-boiling tension.” ~C.J. Prince, The Film Stage
