In the emotional film Room, the unthinkable becomes a way of
life for Joy (Brie Larson) and her five year old son Jack (Jacob Tremblay)
whose existence consists of a room with one skylight window. Under the control
and prisoner of a mysterious man, she must not only endure an abusive
relationship but shield her child from the horror. It is this bond between
mother and child and the dawning hope and reality of a world outside their
existence that forms the core of this heart wrenching drama. This features not
one (Larson) but two Oscar worthy performances with Tremblay a revelation. It
is a haunting study of a mom's love and a child's self discovery. Thoughtful
and memorable.
