Review of Room (2015) by Tvjerry — 24 Nov 2015
In a 10X10 room, a woman (touchingly portrayed by Brie Larson) has been held captive with her 5-year-old son (a remarkable performance by Jacob Tremblay). The first half is spent in their confined environment before expanding the drama to examine their crisis in facing the real world.
Without ever resorting to easy or expected devices, this film is sweet, touching, suspenseful and moving. Director Lenny Abrahamson has brilliantly created an intimate story that's powerful, yet understated.
The best film I've seen this year.
