Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online I remain struck by both the simplicity and tenderness of the narrative that is haunted by a deep tragedy. Rated: A Mar 21, 2017 Full Review Kristen Yoonsoo Kim Complex Room takes a nightmarish premise in an impossibly contained set and turns it into one of this year's most emotionally poignant films.

Aluna U Adapted from Emma Donoghue’s novel, Room tells a harrowing yet powerful story of captivity and survival, brought to life through compelling performances by Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay. While the emotional depth in the confined space feels rushed, the film finds its strength after the characters escape, revealing layers of trauma and resilience. It reminds viewers that evil can exist anywhere, urging vigilance and empathy.
