Room Full Review Transcript:

When I finished watching Room I had experienced emotions I'm not sure I've ever felt in the cinema before and I've been almost overwhelmed by the power of this drama but what helps is that I didn't really know that much about it to start off with apart from the intriguing set up so the movie opens and it's a young woman and a young boy inside a room it's probably ten feet square it's sound proofed there's a tiny skylight in the roof and you realize they are prisoners you soon discover that she has been there since she was kidnapped when she was 17 and she has given birth to this child and raised it inside these four walls he's only five years old and he doesn't know any other world you get these incredible performances from Brie Larson as the mother and extraordinary child performance from this kid Jacob Tremblay you don't get those kind of performances without a really skilled director not only does Lenny Abrahamson bring out those performances but he also creates its entire universe within these four walls that you completely believe in but as I say if you don't know what happens next you're gonna benefit because the way that the story travels elicits these emotions that are not only incredibly intense but almost at times overwhelming it's really not like anything else I've ever seen.
