Though it is a mostly audience-accessible look at a devastating situation, it also does not shy away from the realities of just how something so drastic can change our reality.

It's a deeply satisfying, profoundly moving adaptation of a popular novel, an all-too-rare occurrence in modern Hollywood.

This dramatic thriller is small-scale but profound, with great performances from Larson and a young Tremblay.

A story of survival scripted by Emma Donoghue, from her novel about an imprisoned woman (the excellent Brie Larson) and her child.

It's hard to think of a movie adaptation of a book that feels truer and more loyal to its source than Room.
December 30, 2015
Room is astonishing: It transmutes a lurid, true-crime situation into a fairy tale in which fairy tales are a source of survival.
February 27, 2017
Room takes a nightmarish premise in an impossibly contained set and turns it into one of this year's most emotionally poignant films.
August 22, 2016
Room is a lithe, deeply moving wonder that builds to a miraculous coda.
December 30, 2015
Arresting and heartbreaking, wrought with extremes of tension and love, Room is as evocative and unforgettable on screen as in the bestselling novel that inspired it.

If the measure of a story's worth is the empathy you feel for the characters and the amount that you are unable to remove yourself from their circumstances, then Room succeeds by miles.
December 30, 2015
Room is a good movie with a great performance at its core. Larson's career was already going places... But Room will be remembered as the movie that etched her permanent place on the map.
