Review of Room

I've heard many great things about this, but to be honest I didn't even actually know about it until it was released. The subject matter sounds disturbing, depressing, and intense. I don't know why I didn't check this out sooner. Plus to note it has quite an excellent cast. Oh Leonard Abrahamson also directed Frank which was an interesting movie itself. It seems this guy likes to deal heavily with the emotions of his characters which is awesome. You don't see it too often, but Emma Donoghue who wrote the book also wrote the script here. At least this should prove that the source material is legit. Sean Bridgers role here is slightly similar to the disturbing film he was in called The Woman. The long hair makes him look like a girl. He is such a sweet, adorable kid though! Aww if only he could understand what is going on. Well maybe he does, but he wishes things were normal. I wonder if we will find out what happened if it even really matters. It's a disturbing reality to know of nothing else existing besides as room that you live in. I'm curious to see if we will be finding out how this whole situation happened. Well I spoke too soon. It's hard for people to believe what they have never known especially if your idea of reality is altered. All of this would be quite terrifying when you are too young to really understand. Her plans are quite ingenious though. This is just too powerful not to at least tear up. That has to be quite overwhelming. To go back to a world that has changed or one you never knew has to be intense. It was interesting to see how everyone dealt with things. The ending was kind of bittersweet. The whole movie has your heart in the palm of its hand. It tosses it around quite a bit. It's an amazing film for sure, but it's a very rough watch. I highly recommend it as long as you watch some sitcoms or comedies after it.
