That is why movies as expressive asRoomcan be so revelatory. The subject matter is a grotesquely tragic one thats become common in our news cycles. There is no distance from these characters here. For five years, Room is all he has ever known. Hell need to if he is to ever escape. It is not a spoiler to suggest that they do escape. Roomis a stunning moment meant for dark theaters....
