To five-year-old-Jack, Room is the world... It's where he was born, it's where he and his Ma eat and sleep and play and learn. At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits. Room is home to Jack, but to Ma it's the prison where she has been held for seven years. Through her fierce love for her son, she has created a life for him in this eleven-by-eleven-foot space. But with Jack's curiosity building alongside her own desperation, she knows that Room cannot contain either much longer. (Elevation Pictures)

A quality psychological drama with excellent performances by Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay. A strong story that surprisingly (and fortunately) doesn’t end with the mother and son’s escape but follows them as they try to cope with everyday life. This second part of the film made an even stronger impression on me than the first part, in which they were still locked up. The film kept me entertained, and the story completely drew me in. I wish there were more films like this.

I was afraid of the movie, especially of how it would affect me, and if it wouldn't be overly depressing. It wasn't. It was just right. I really liked the beautiful contrast of how happy they actually were until they left the confined space. Then it was necessary to get used to happiness in life again. It’s as if it's easier to live in that cave.

When I was small, I only knew small things. But now I'm five, I know everything! About two main characters and two big twists. Nevertheless (or precisely because of it, thanks to having sufficient space) this is about everything important in life. For some, Room will be full of pathos; for others, it will be an exaggerated depression. However, for those especially empathetic, it is a perfectly balanced spectacle that moves and chills them beyond their own abilities.

An extremely upsetting and, for the most part, depressing movie, which is excellently filmed, but because of its theme I do not want to see it ever again. Perfectly made with absolutely convincing acting performances, so an obvious candidate for an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. To those who would like to increase their level of paranoia, but not in a depressing way, I recommend watching this video.

I didn't have much faith in this film, but it was a very pleasant surprise. A dense, emotional and unflinching drama with an original idea, excellent acting performances, especially Jacob Tremblay, he’s the future Leonardo Dicaprio, just check out his promising future prospects. The first hour is great, especially in the unpredictable unraveling of the mystery, the second is less engaging, yet the psychological aspect can sway the viewer decently. Very good. 80%.
