What a film. What an excellent film. It is about a boy who grows up in a room and it was all he knew until him and his mother finally escaped. This is storytelling at its best. The acting was gripping and emotional. I honestly can not believe this movie was so engaging. The writer and director literally thought of everything. I think the reason why this film works as well as it does is purely because of the attention to detail. You feel everything the boy does when he sees and understands things for the first time. Another thing that the movie excels in is pacing. For the past 5 or more years it seems like most movies have had pacing problems. This one works well and never rushes or bores you to death. You can write a book about why this movie is so good. It is thought provoking, entertaining and a breath of fresh air in a world full of CGI bullsh!t without plot. I highly recommend this work of art.
