Movie Review: Room

Just exquisite. The premise of Room was simple, but resting underneath was a film of great depth and heart. The story was richly layered and tremendously gripping, the pacing - though a bit slow and jarring at times - made sense, and the direction was masterful in crafting a piece that drew me into its narrative. The visuals were subtle yet precise, and the movie's technical constraints created an intimate portrait through intricate framing. But what elevated the film to something extraordinary was the commanding performances of both Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay - both were uncompromising in their portrayals and were nothing short of a revelation. Room was an awesomely nuanced film with an effortless narrative and fantastic acting performances.
