Haunting but rewarding?

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2019)

This movie has a certain spark to it. The first part is about a family stuck in a small room, trapped there by a sexist pig of a man. The mother (played Brie Larson) by finally gets them (herself and her son, played by Jacob Tremblay) out of there with the second half the movie about them adapting to the outside world. All in all, this is definitely a rewarding film to watch without question, clearly deserving a rating of 8 out 10.
Those reviewers that said that this film is a harrowing and rewarding experience are right, as it is a film that is powerful without question. One major theme of this film is about survival and finding your place in the world, something which many, many people can relate to. It also deals with trauma from rape, as the mother is raped by a man called "Old Nick" (played by Sean Bridgers) at the film's beginning, which is important to portray on film.
With that, I think that this review is sufficient and should come to a close.
