A Great Film For Psychology Students & Film Critics. Not Good For Date Nights.

Rating: 6/10 (2 June 2019)

Brie Larson does something noteworthy in this film. First off, she was great. Aside from her general awesomeness, she played the role of an exhausted mother in the room. When getting free and settling in at her parents house, she reviews the life she left behind, then begins playing the role of a regressing teenager with her mother. This show Brie's range as an actress, knowledge of adolescent and trauma psychology by the writers, and good attention to detail by the director.
A fine film about a topic that is no fun. Don't watch this on a date - no one gets lucky during or immediately after watching 'Room'. Twice is enough - I won't ever watch this film again.
