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.
An autumn day driving down a suburban street takes on the scope of interplanetary travel.
In realizing this lifestyle, both Larson and young Tremblay are fantastic and well worth remembering during awards season.
Still, this is Tremblays movie.
He and Larsons chemistry as a strained mother and son never hits a false note.
It is a remarkable achievement of cinema.
And it should be seen.
