Intense

Rating: Null/10 (23 December 2015)

This film tells the story of a five year old boy who has never left his room, because he and his mother are held captive for years by a man.
The synopsis doesn't give me an idea of the unimaginable horror that is depicted in the film. Such unspeakable crime can be committed only by the most perverted individuals. As a result of this highly emotionally charged issue, "Room" is highly engaging. Towards the middle of the film, I find every cell in me wants the woman's plan to succeed. I held my breath, I welled up and I sincerely hope there would be some humanity left in the world. Another very emotional scene is the brief TV interview. The interviewer seems so caring and empathic, but asks very biased questions which leads to another emotional zenith. This film depicts the horror of captivity, which I am sure doesn't even match the true abuse and desperation that the victims face.
I hope the victims can recover and lead fulfilling lives.
