Undefined journey called life

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2016)

It's one of those movies you'll like or dislike a lot ;) I understand how some people find it boring or shallow, with such an emotionally charged topic - one easily slips into the expectation of some deep psychological character's plot/revile or action scenes...
It is not that kind of the movie. Also, that's why I like it so much ;) The director choose to give us only vague guidelines about the core events, through little everyday interactions of the two main characters: a mother and her son. For those hungry for more, sometimes you'll get bits and pieces of kid's internal monologues, interpretations of things happening... But as far as the mother's character concerning - it's reduced to a minimalist, somewhat 'live stream' point of view, not even a documentary one, cause that one would insert at least some of her reasoning, points of view. We get none, just her actions and those are all about dealing with her son's reactions. It's a tricky little world, just a tiny little Room; yet left wide open, for us to imagine her emotions and thoughts about it all...
I love it. You may not. You may wanna the whole story served here and now, with all the clever plots and intellectual conversations and drawn emotions. Or maybe you'll just love it for what it is.
