Moving and intense...Brilliant cast

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2015)

Room keeps the viewer in suspense as it slowly unravels the story of how mother, Brie Larson and son, Jacob Tremblay is stagnantly held captive for years until finally Brie has the sudden courage for a spontaneous escape. Brie brilliantly portrays the trauma she's experienced when she returns home to her parents...sadness looms in the air for the entire movie as everyone involved tries to regain their normal life. The movie is at times slow, but Jacob saves the movie with his innate, youthful curiosity to make sense of the world. The mellow ambiance makes one ponder about the usage of time, the importance of support and not taking things for granted. Overall, great movie.
