I remain struck by both the simplicity and tenderness of the narrative that is haunted by a deep tragedy.

Complex

Room takes a nightmarish premise in an impossibly contained set and turns it into one of this year's most emotionally poignant films.

Rated: 4/5

This all leads to another of my favorite endings of the year, and it is so beautifully earned. After enjoying his movie Frank last year, I’m now on the lookout for Lenny Abrahamson...

... a film that creates a universe in isolation and finds wonder and beauty and devotion in a story that could have been bleak and suffocating.

Nayeli M Excelente actuación de brie y jacob Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Laura W Though deeply harrowing, the story’s centering on the utterly authentic mother-son relationship of Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay, elevates it to a profound and ultimately uplifting exploration of what humans can endure and survive in the face of the worst possible circumstances, and what makes survival and recovery possible. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Brad CKA L https://youtu.be/IXvX0ZJ_mKU?si=s3qlUUcPQNI1z2Zl Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Molly L #sugarsweetmaam cal a spine thrilling, emotional rollercoaster ride. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review James V Incredibly boring. Unbelievable plot. Not sure what the entire point of the second half of the movie is. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Nick R Brilliantly acted with a heartbreaking story, 'Room' is a very powerful and emotional film that will hit the hearts of everyone who watches it. Even though it is a very hard to watch movie at times, it is something that should be watched. Brie Larson is incredible and Jacob Trembly plays Jack so well. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
