Heart wrenching but brilliant

Rating: 9/10 (7 October 2019)

I've been on IMDb for 13 years and have never felt the need to leave a review, even of my personal favourite films, but having finally got round to seeing Room I was compelled to come on here and encourage others to do the same.
The performances are suburb and with the emotion the story itself conveys alongside this film grabs you by the heart and squeezes from the get-go. I found myself literally on the edge of the sofa halfway through, talking to and encouraging Jack during a pivotal moment of the film.
I won't be watching this again any time soon, not because it isn't utterly brilliant but because I just don't think I'd be able to take the emotional punch it dishes out another time.
Final word has to go to Jacob Trembley, who I think puts in the best acting performance by a child I have ever seen.
