Autistic Reviewers Opinion of This Movie

Rating: 8/10 (1 March 2016)

This is Claustrophobia at its best! I usually hate these sort of movies, but this movie somehow made it work! You would naturally think how could been in whole movie work so well without been boring? Well, this movie made it work. The direction and acting in this movie as just so powerful that it could not be boring for a second.
Ma and 5 year old Jack have been placed in a room for years and years by a man by the name of "Old Nick." Old Nick never lets them leave. Jack has never left this room before. Ma somehow manages to make a small little room the whole world to Jack. She manages to convince jack how fun it is been in one little room, and she convinces us too! Then one day Jack escapes to make a terrifying and thrilling journey to self discovery.
Brie Larson was amazing as the Mother who has been abused and is raising a kid to be strong and show him the real world. She deserved the Oscar. I remember seeing Brie Larson is "21 Jump Street" and thinking she will never make it in a movie like this. I was proved wrong once again! My hates off to Jacob Tremblay who played 5 year old Jack. He's one of the best Child Actors I have seen. He made every scene seem so believable. Director Lenny Abrahamson brought this movie to life with his amazing skills.
Great movie. I would have loved to hear about "Old Nick" and seen more of Ma's parents on screen, but that's only mild. Not even close to destroy this whole film's powerful message. I give this 4/5 stars. -Autistic Jay
