Held captive for 7 years in an enclosed space, a woman and her young son finally gain their freedom, allowing the boy to experience the outside world for the first time.

Our Take

6.9
The Staff

This  exploration of the complex and loving relationship between a mother and her son will take you through a variety of emotions: it’s uplifting, disturbing, provocative, sad, and hopeful. We don’t get many of these middle-class-budget films anymore, and this one might be one of the category’s best.

A kidnapped girl (Brie Larson) has a son after being raped by her abductor. She tries to provide a “normal” environment for the kid in the room where they’re being held captive until they can escape. Brie Larson won an Oscar for Best Actress in Room, so make sure to also check out Short Term 12, an equally impressive performance by her in an equally amazing movie.
