What if your whole life experience were in the same 11X11 room?

Rating: Null/10 (7 March 2016)

Saw this on BluRay at home. First-rate picture and sound.
This movie can't really be commented on without the SPOILERS so anyone reading this before seeing "Room" might want to defer.
The movie is roughly divided into two halves, the first half with the mom and son in the small 11X11 room with only a skylight, no windows, where they have been together for almost 5 years. The captor brings them food and supplies, he has sex with her regularly, with the boy in a closet. The boy still nurses, no doubt as a natural form of birth-control. We witness the boy's 5th birthday.
The second half examines the trauma of someone seeing the outside world for the first time after studying about it from books, drawings and TV images. Encountering people, encountering wide open spaces. Plus the trauma of a young woman returning to her real world and family after perhaps the most trying ordeal a young girl can go through, kidnapped as a teenager, kept in a storage shed, having a baby, raising that baby to a little boy.
Brie Larson is Joy, known by the little boy only as Ma. She won the Best Actress Oscar for her performance. Jacob Tremblay, who was probably 7 during filming, is Jack just turning 5.
The book and then movie were clearly inspired by the several news stories over the recent past where something similar happened in real life. It is fiction but still a very interesting examination of how that situation might play out.
