Room is the movie adaptation of the 2010 novel of the same name by Emma Donoghue and it is no exaggeration to tell that the movie is loyal to the novel. The novel itself was inspired by crimes taking place in real life. But the challenge for the filmmaker is to bring the true essence of the novel to the screen.  The perspective of a small kid, which was shown in the book, may turn overemotional if not narrated properly in the big screen. Well, let’s see whether Room manages to capture our attention.

Plot

Room begins with Jacob Tremblay Jacob was born on October 5, 2006. His parents wer >> Read More... narrating what happened during his fifth birthday. He also elaborates on the place he is living in, a garden shed, which is sparingly furnished. And he is living in the room since he was born and has pretty well got accustomed to it. 

Well, Sean Bridgers keeps Jacob and his mother Brie Larson Brie Larson is an American singer and actress born >> Read More... as hostages in the garden shed. He also indulges in raping Larson in a frequent manner while Jacob is fast asleep. 

Whatever the mother-son duo do it’s confined to the four walls of the “room”. And all that Jacob can view from this room is the beautiful sky.  In fact, since Jacob is totally cut from social contact, he begins to see life in every piece of item in his room. But Larson leaves no stone unturned in making her son a bright person. 

Larson does her best to protect her kid to her fullest abilities. To escape from the clutches of Sean Bridgers, she makes her son known about the world outside and devises a plan to go outside. And when the duo comes out of the room how do they face the world? Well, you have got to watch the movie to find out. 

Star Performances

Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay astound us with their onscreen bonding as mother and son. I wonder whether any other film could have shown the bonding between a mother and son in such a beautiful manner. While Larson completely gets into the skin of the character of the selfless mother, whose only preoccupation is her son’s well-being, Tremblay just lives his character. Joan Allen Joan Allen, an American actress, was born in Roche >> Read More... (as Jacob’s grandmother) and William H Macy (as Jacob’s grandfather) also shine in their characters. 

Analysis

The movie takes us into a world of self-realization. Also, the uncompromising bond between a mother and her young son is shown in a commendable manner in the movie. The director of the movie, Lenny Abrahamson, infuses sufficient amount of curiosity in the sequences wherein Brie teaches her son about the outside world. And when Jacob finally comes out of his room, the movie’s intensity is multiplied. The movie doesn’t fail in conveying a message that perseverance can work wonders in the face of horror. 

What’s there?

  • The movie doesn’t deviate from its plot and succeeds in building the required tension.
  • The stress which the characters face is given due importance.
  • The way in Abrahamson has shown even a dark atmosphere so beautiful is commendable. 
  • The audience can easily empathize with the lead duos of the movie.
  • The bond between a mother and son that has faced the test of time is endearing. 

What’s not there?

The movie takes its own time in unraveling things. 

Verdict

Well, I can hear you question me…can a dark plot as that of Room turn out to be a spell-binding show of beauty? Just watch Room…
