Gripping!

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2016)

What a touching movie. I had to force myself to watch it, as the thought of going through a story about a mother and her son trapped inside a small room for years was too claustrophobic and had too little room (no pun intended) for excitement. But I am glad I watched it. It's a gripping movie. The story of a girl who gets kidnapped and locked in a 10 sqm2 room for 7 years. She gets pregnant and has a son who believes their "room" is the only real thing in the world. When he turns five, she finally tries to explain to him the reality of their lives, and together, they need to find a way to escape. I am not sure whether this movie was anywhere the Oscar nominations or not, but either it is a movie that I hope people will watch. It deserves it. Way better than 90% of the flicks you have out there.
