Ma (Brie) struggles to show her son (Jack) a life full of love in a world known as Room. The movie focuses on the disappearance, and then the aftermath of Ma and Jack finally gaining freedom.

A good, long cry.

Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay are very dedicated to their roles. It's easy to get lost in this movie and forget that they're acting.

Though the movie is gut-wrenching, there is an artistic approach in the way Jack narrates certain thoughts and in how some of the scenes were shot.

Cry some more and then hug Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay.

Heartbroken

Jacob Tremblay, Brie Larson, Joan Allen,

Though this is incredibly sad, it affected me in a way that I will be thinking about the scenes for a long time. I do not wish to give any spoilers, but there is an unforgettable scene involving a rug which will stay with me for years to come.

Parts of this are extremely difficult to watch, but the love that Ma has for Jack, what she is willing to endure, and sacrifices she makes for her son are selfless. This movie broke my heart several times and then stitched it back together again.
