Led by incredible work from Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay, Room makes for an unforgettably harrowing -- and undeniably rewarding -- experience.

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

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

Room is a lithe, deeply moving wonder that builds to a miraculous coda.

Familial love is a beautiful thing and Room does everything it can to make that resonate on a deep level.

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.

Incredibly boring. Unbelievable plot. Not sure what the entire point of the second half of the movie is.

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.

Um retrato do drama angustiante de uma jovem mãe presa em um cativeiro por um predador sexual, que se vê obrigada a construir uma realidade paralela para o próprio filho na intenção de zelar por sua saúde emocional e evitar traumas a criança. Atuações consistentes e um roteiro original, tornam essa experiência crível e emocionante.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Thats A

Without a doubt, this film will tug on your heartstrings. The perspective for the film jumps from a world we take for granted and the other we wish we never visited. The film is shown in the perspective of a child's imagination and an adult reality. The film is told in such a way as to the point when you see the credits scroll up. The film still continues the story of that world living beyond the screen. “Overall the film screams great hidden cinema. I would have given it 6 out of 5 but there wasn’t enough room.”

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
