Worth the Watch

Rating: 9/10 (8 February 2016)

I really had no idea what this movie was about when I was going see it and it was truly an amazing story! Brie Larson fully deserves all the wonderful recognition she is getting. She delivers such a heart- wrenching, powerful performance in "Room." Such a sad and emotional story, Larson connects so well with the emotions of a person in such a terrible scenario allowing the audience to go there with her. With the help of her small but incredibly talented co-star, Jacob Tremblay, Larson gives the performance of a life time. The relationship between the two of mother and son was one of my favorite aspects of this film. I also appreciated that they gave the audience an inside look at the aftermath once the victims finally were blessed to escape from captivity. I was blown away to see what life had brought for Carol and George, now 17 years old! Director Lenny Abrahamson creates such a big story in a small space. Between the directing and the music, there is no way you don't shed a tear at least once during this film. Tears and all, this film is worth the watch. It has taken award season by storm and I'm glad this film is receiving the recognition it deserves.
