Room 2015



Watched Feb 18, 2016


Room starts and ends trying to be a conventional film, but that's the beauty of it as it isn't.

The direction is brilliant, you will see it in the scene in the hospital as the little guy Jack is being carried by his mum Ma. From the infinitely big room with unending space when taken into the real world he feels claustrophobic. That scene is what much of the film is about, the changing perception of the child, like how we will feel if we suddenly aren't attracted to the ground beneath our feet.

Kept wondering throughout the film where I have seen Brie Larson before and a click in IMDb told me "Spectacular Now". 3 years back she pulled off being a highschooler and now in this she shines like a crazy diamond as a mom of a five year old who has experienced the Stockholm syndrome so much that she tells herself that she has to escape with her only aid, her five year old son.

There are moments where the little guy says some really perfect lines which may seem far-fetched but at least he isn't that annoying smart kid who does everything right. This kid forgets some important things, this kid talks to tables and chairs, this kid doesn't show off smartness, but this kid is full of heart and courage, so is this film. This dark horse contender might be overlooked, might even be forgotten in years to come but once in a while a film fan will chance upon this and be blown away. That's how good Room is.
