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.

Heartbreaking, frustrating story that focuses on the mother-son relationship, not on the criminal, and also the fact that life is what we know

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.
