Beautiful and Moving

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 2019)

Room is an emotional movie that excels on all fronts. The tone is very soft, yet the theme and premise is one that will elicit a strong reaction. The cinematography is masterful as the film and its characters grow, so does the perception presented to the viewer. The strongest point of this film is the emotion and psychology behind these characters. Brie Larson shines through this film, telling a good portion of this story through facials or lack-thereof. Jacob Tremblay carries the story by providing the eyes of innocence for the viewer. Room engages the viewer as if they are living through the events themselves. Overall, Room is a masterpiece of an emotional experience that is light on touch, but heavy on substance.
