A story of human perserverance and frailty

Rating: 8/10 (27 February 2019)

The heart of Room lies in its portrayal of believable human reactions to a horrific circumstance. Director Lenny Abrahamson pulls the audience into the room that our protagonists are in, making us feel like we are stuck their with them. Once in the room, Jacob Tremblay and Brie Larson's performances win me over to their side and have me audibly rooting them on as they figure out an escape plan. Room is solid all around and will not leave you feeling bored because of its interesting choice to shift tone halfway through. Check it out.
