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. Rated: 4/5 Feb 27, 2017 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Room is a lithe, deeply moving wonder that builds to a miraculous coda. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 22, 2016 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film Familial love is a beautiful thing and Room does everything it can to make that resonate on a deep level. Aug 2, 2024 Full Review Brendan Cassidy InSession Film 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... Aug 2, 2024 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... 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.

Anderson A Atuação muito foda da Brie larson, sei que é proposta do filme e tal mas que mlk chato KKKKkkkk, fora isso o filme é muito bom a agonia que ele demostra e a tensão são absurdas. 7.5 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Stephen C Success in 1 hour and 58 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated R for Language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The cast and crew are incredible people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Faiz D A brilliant movie about a mother and son finding strength in each other. Brie Larson gives one of the best performances of the year and Jacob Tremblay absolutely kills it as Jack by giving easily one of the greatest child performances I've ever seen. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Dani G Heartbreaking, frustrating story that focuses on the mother-son relationship, not on the criminal, and also the fact that life is what we know Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Garrett B Room has great performances from the two leads. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/27/25 Full Review R B Much better than expected. Very good movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Read all reviews
