disconnect with society

Rating: 8/10 (28 February 2016)

I really enjoyed Room, Room had the ability to create a sense of suspense within a 'room'. A sense of mystery, I was quite interested in the idea of this 'room' which if thought about is quite a bizarre idea. As it did occur to me that it is quite strange that a man had kidnapped a minor and proceeded to keep her alive in his shed, eventually impregnating her and continue to pay for all expenses of her and this child.
All in all, despise the odd premises it is an intriguing story on coping with the outside world. For "Ma", someone who has experienced it but has been detached from it for several years and "Jack",one who has never been a part of it. I do believe that Jacob Tremblay's portrayal of the boy Jack was quite well done, I was sold at his bewilderment of seeing the outside world and the impacts that has been inflicting on him after being exposed to the false belief that the room is everything.
It's got this whole idea of new things versus the old familiar things and the idea of the fear of new experiences. It also deals with the problem of post traumatic stress on Brie Larson's "Ma" and her trying to cope with the world despite her experiences of potential rape and having been kidnapped for such a long time. It is clear that there is a disconnect which brings viewers to the next theme of a sense of belonging and fitting in.
Overall I do recommend it for people who like films with more thinking required but this is definitely not your average popcorn flick.
