So I recently watched Room and I'm here to bring you my review. So without further ado.............
This drama tells the extraordinary story of Jack (played by Jacob Tremblay), a spirited 5 year-old who is looked after by his loving and devoted Ma (played by Brie Larson). Like any good mother, Ma dedicates herself to keeping Jack happy and safe, nurturing him with warmth and love and doing typical things like playing games and telling stories. However, they are trapped in a windowless, 10-by-10-foot space, which Ma has euphemistically named "Room." As Jack's curiosity about their situation grows, and Ma's resilience reaches its breaking point, they enact a risky plan to escape, ultimately bringing them face-to-face with what may turn out to be the scariest thing yet: the real world.
This is a really powerful film. When this film was announced, I was initially confused because I had no idea what the film was about even after reading the synopsis I was still confused and plus I thought it was a better version of The Room (kidding), but this film is simply amazing. The story is one that seems on paper very interesting, but you can where there is a possibility of the film going completely wrong and it doesn't at all. Brie Larson gives the best performance of the year hands down and she is my choice for the Academy Award for Best Actress she is just that good and if she doesn't win then it be a really big disappointment. The real standout performance is young Jacob Tremblay who is spectacular in the role of Jack and he deserves at least a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at next years Oscars. The film packs a very powerful emotional punch that can put you in tears at various points of the film. The supporting cast besides these is outstanding and perfectly cast for each role. The film does move at a slow methodical pace and that can take people out of the film, but it brings you back in with the emotion and then it sometimes beats you over the head with emotional moments and it can't climb out of the hole at points. Overall this is a film is powerful and filled with amazing performances that you'll need to bring tissues, but there are points where it can be over-emotional at times. I give Room a 9 out of 10.
So ladies and gentlemen what did you think of Room, what would you rate it and what did you think of my review? Let me know in the comments section below and let your voice be heard.
