A story of love and freedom

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2019)

Room is a 2015 movie directed by Lenny Abrahamson, in which the two main characters are acted by Brie Larson e Jacob Tremblay.
It has a dramatic genre at first, but secondly it becomes a thriller movie.
Joy (called by her son "Ma") and her five-year-old son Jack live in a shed that they call "Room" where have a bed, a toilet, a bathtub, a television, and a kitchen...but with only one window. They are captives of a man who is called Old Nick (Jack's father) .He abducted Joy seven years ago, and normally rapes her while Jack is hidden in the wardrobe. Jack believes that only Room and what in it are "real," and the rest of the world exists only in television.
When Joy discovers that Old Nick lost his job, she's afraid he'll abandon the house, letting them die without food or water. She thinks about a plan to escape: Jack will pretend to be dead and get rolled up in Rug so Old Nick will bury Jack far from the house. In this case ,Jack can escape when Old Nick stops at a stop sign.
Jack's innocence and sweetness, Joy's strong hope to get out of "Room" and continue living the life that Old Nick has stolen from her, make this movie painful to watch; especially thanks to actors' excellent skills in acting.
