A brilliant movie, which was in theaters only for one and about
a young boy is raised within the confines of a small shed is the topic of today's review and so I will talk about
ROOM (2015)
TRAILERS:
STORYLINE:
ROOM tells the extraordinary story of Jack, a spirited 5-year-old who is
looked after by his loving and devoted mother. Like any good mother, Ma
dedicates herself to keeping Jack happy and safe, nurturing him with
warmth and love and doing typical things like playing games and telling
stories. Their life, however, is anything but typical--they are
trapped--confined to a 10-by-10-foot space that Ma has euphemistically
named Room. Ma has created a whole universe for Jack within Room, and
she will stop at nothing to ensure that, even in this treacherous
environment, Jack is able to live a complete and fulfilling life. But as
Jack's curiosity about their situation grows, and Ma's resilience
reaches its breaking point, they enact a risky plan to escape,
ultimately bringing them face-to-face with what may turn out to be the
scariest thing yet: the real world. Written by

Room's runtime is about 118 minutes and is based on a book / novel, telling the story of a woman and her son who are living in a room, which is not bigger than 10 square meters. If you read the book or even if not, I am not going to tell more about the story. Why are they there? What is the reason? Why is the woman there with her kid? Watch the movie to find out, believe in me, it is worth to watch it.
The main characters are Ma played by Brie Larson, who was crowned with the Academy Award for this role and her son Jack played by Jacob Tremblay.
The story has also a historical background, it is comparable to the theory of Platon, a Greek man who told us about philosophy and 3 equals.
The mother is doing everything to protect that kid.
The kid played by Jacob Tremblay is so absolutely outstanding in his performance, he has nothing else than his mum, the relationship between them is so deep, that nothing can split them. They don't have anyone else.
Both characters perform in a way which is incredible. Unbelieveable true, he should have gotten an Academy Award, too, even thoug he is a kid. The emotions and setting on how they perform is awesome.
The movie is about 118 minutes, absolutely not even one second is wasted or boring, it is catching you in every second, and also reflecting to yourself questioning what would you do in that situation.
The camera is very detailed in that movie, of course we only have one little, a lot of POV (point of view) angles are used, especially when it comes up to tell us the POV of the kid. It is most of time static, the colors of the movie is saturated which gives us a better feeling to dive into the emotions, sad and happy emotions.
That is all what I want to tell you about the movie, because the challenge in this review is that you might have read the book.
At the end I have to say that Room is a movie, underground gendered, which is Drama or Thriller, which is so great to see, the love between the mother and son, which cannot be separated, is so awesome. Also the sub characters are so great to see, the performance of all of them is outstanding.
What I like about the movie:
EVERYTHING
What I don't like about the movie:
NOTHING
I just love it, and especially when you watch it on big screens, with friends or family, I guarantee, that you will cry.
10 out of 10 points being a Drama / Thriller and also 10 out of 10 points compared to all the other movies out there and so I wish you a lot of fun and emotions while watching Room (2015), to purchase on DVD or Blu-Ray.
