Review of Room (2015) by Mike W — 11 Jul 2016

One of the most beautiful films I have ever had the good fortune to see; cannot recommend enough. Incredible performances from everyone involved; particularly of course from Jacob Tremblay (the best child actor you're likely to see in anything) and Brie Larson who is great in anything she's been in and truly astounding in this.

Full of absolutely heart-wrenching moments and yet ultimately positively life-affirming, Lenny Abrahamson and Emma Donoghue have written and directed a true masterpiece. There is a certain sequence in the middle of the film that left me breathless and an emotional wreck! Cried the first time watching and as soon as I started watching the film again, started tearing up as soon as it started.

A beautiful film about a mother and a son that will be cherished!
