A story about a boy and his mother locked up in a room for a number of years and their subsequent troubles adapting to the real world. It is incredibly well acted and cast. The focal point of the movie being Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay with their flawless performances and great on screen chemistry. It is a very intimate story that creeps up on you and leaving you pondering for days. The movie refuses to use cheap emotional tricks or graphic violence or scares to draw you in. It slowly builds up the relationship between the two main characters making you invested in their story and their future by trying to show a terrifying event happening to real people as well as the struggles they face in its aftermath.
