Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2017)

This is a story so sublimely told and exquisitely crafted, and with performances so achingly beautiful and emotive, it would be near impossible not to pull on the tightest of heart strings.
Every frame is a deliberate exploration into the themes of maternity, creation and endless opportunity; uplifting messages founded on a dark premise. The consistency of Lenny Abrahamson's masterful direction and the stunning performances make this an utterly overwhelming experience. Abrahamson even utilises an incredible score at key moments which builds to such an intense crescendo, it manages to crawl under the skin and hold you transfixed on the scene.
It's tough, nail-biting, intense and immersive, but it is genuine and heart-felt, uplifting and inspiring. This is a film that requires repeated viewings as the sheer subtleties within every scene and on every facial expression demand close attention in order to appreciate the pure brilliance that is 'Room'.
