Wow that is what comes to mind when I think of Room and especially when I think of Jacob Tremblay's performance. Room has one of, if not, the best child acting performances of all time.
No doubt Director Lenny Abrahamson worked his ass off to make this possible along with the rest of the cast and crew which also do a tremendous job to make this film come to life.
One thing that I think makes this film so great is it's screenplay. It is written by someone who knows the source material more than anyone, the books author Emma Donoghue. I loved how events in Jack's life where told by his extremely imaginative and optimistic point of view even if deep down what he is describing is extremely dark and traumatic. The whole film opts for a hopeful, feel good tone which I appreciated as it easily could have been much darker.
Since I saw her in the indie flick Short Term 12 I remember saying that one day Brie Larson would win an Oscar. I may be right as she beautifully portrays a loving mother who is strong when she needs to be for her son. It's a fantastic performance with a believable on screen bond between the two leads. Although Brie Larson being Oscar worthy, Jacob Tremblay's mesmerising lead role in the film outshone her by far, but this may be due to personal expectations.
Go see Room, it is an extremely well made film from it's wonderfully unique screenplay (and dialogue), it's astonishing child and adult acting and of course it's directing that has successfully brought everything together as we cut the cord and say "Hello Jack!"
