Steineded How sad is this?

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

smhz-79802 It's rubbish and disturbing. It's like some stupid and boring life.

momster0005 In the real world, our world at this day and time, when children and young women are found after years of captivity, I found this movie to be very realistic and all of the actors did an amazing job, especially the mother and son. I found this to be a very emotional movie and I found myself holding back tears at times throughout. I would consider this a Must See Movie, although I don't have a desire to watch it again.

romanticomedies I came across this movie because of the picture it had on Netflix, decided to give it five minutes to see if it were another typical hour long movie with no real conclusion but Room did not disappoint. Every minute in this movie is so precious, the aftermath of getting rescued ties it all in and it's not only downhill from there but a whirlwind of emotions.

how-64844 I always read reviews before I write my own to recheck that I'm not being too subjective with my judgments. I found the movie captivating, possibly because I haven't made the same close connection as Jack did with his mom and it really pulled at my heartstrings. It's surprising though how people rate it low, citing plotholes and questions that were actually answered in the movie. I'm a big reader of crime news and Ma's story and reasons for her actions were very believable and reasonable. The first half of the story was very thrilling and the second half actually falls a bit flat, but it's a realistic representation of life. People who expect things to continue with "and they live happily ever after" will be disappointed.The story is also meant to be seen as it is - focused on the psyche of the two main characters. If you want to go deeper than that, then make your own movie. Overall, I think it's well-done and it deserved the recognition it got.
