Nothing short of perfection

Rating: 9/10 (6 June 2016)

There are certain movies which leave you spellbound. Movies that make you ponder upon the reality of life. Room falls into that category.
Frankly, I didn't hear of the movie till it was nominated for the Oscars. I saw it after that and "Wow" was the word that I said.
So Room is the story of Joy, a girl who was kidnapped at the age of 17 by a guy whom we just know as "Old Nick". During captivity she gets pregnant and has a baby boy named Jack. So Joy has created this fairy tale world for Jack in the room they stay in and anything outside to the room is just Outer space. So when Jack is 5, Joy thinks "Enough is Enough" and she needs to get out. How she plans to get out, forms the pre-interval part of the movie and how Jack and Joy survive once they are released forms the latter half.
Bree Larson as Joy has given the performance that would literally give you goosebumps. Her anguish, he jealousy, the disregard for the outside world, each and every emotion is portrayed so brilliantly by Bree that you eventually fall in love with her and empathize with her.
Jacob Tremblay as Jack is sheer perfection. Playing such a character at this age is really tough and Jacob has just played it brilliantly. I can not think of anyone else who would have played this character to that perfection.
The story, the direction,cinematography everything is top-notch. Room, makes you think, it makes you cry, it squishes your gut and you feel each and every emotion that Bree and Jack experience in the room. With limited background score, Room relies on silence. It's a must watch for every movie goer. I literally took a walk of 2kms after I saw the movie to just imbibe everything that I saw. Sheer Brilliance.
