Room Review

"Room" is beautifully told and show the deep bond of a young mother and her son who are held captives for almost a decade by a psychopath. With a touching story and a beautiful screenplay to its credit, Room makes for a compelling watch for the way in which the film is narrated and takes its shape.
Joy, the mother and Jack her son are held captives by Old Nick in a shed that they call Room. For the mother and her five year old son, that Room is their world. In fact, Jack has never seen the outside world. Can they escape from the clutches of this man? If at all they manage to escape, will they be able to adjust to the real world, well watch this powerful and delightful film to know the answers.
The emotional bonding between Joy and Jack are beautifully portrayed and will touch our heart. The hardships they are facing having forced to do every activity a normal human being perform in a house in a tiny room has been brilliantly conveyed through the camera angle. The love, the attachment and the care the mother have for her son is shown in a poignant and heart touching way.
Director Lenny Abrahamson has conveyed what he wanted to through his script very well. The story is disturbing but nevertheless the moments we have in the film are too touching to be ignored.
On screen, Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay are the souls and backbone of this movie. They have come out with a performance that looked so natural and classy. Quite naturally they deserve a big round of applause for successfully conveying the helplessness at one stage to the confused mind at a later stage with total authority. Rest of the supporting actors were also good in their respective roles.
Overall, here is a touching and engaging emotional drama that has a beautiful story of two people backed by solid performances. I will go with four out of five as my personal rating for Room, an overwhelming film that has its heart at the right place.
Rating - 4 / 5
