| Original Score: 9/10 | Jan 3, 2023

There is an underlying hope to “Room” that is even present during the most grim moments.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 25, 2022

Room never grandstands to overstated dramatic revelations or unrealistic catharsis; it tells an affecting story through the three-dimensional emotions of its characters, but not by spelling out each emotion through expositional dialogue.

Room showcases the best and worst of humanity in a compelling story adapted by Emma Donoghue from her own novel.

A tearjerker that occasionally makes too much room for melodrama and on-the-money dialogue, but is captivatingly told nonetheless.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 4, 2021

An exhausting and exhilarating film.

For a film of its modest size, Room asks big questions.

Director Lenny Abrahamson together with cinematographer Danny Cohen take [Emma] Donoghue's screen adaptation...elevates and expands the emotional heartbeat...filling the screen with dynamic indelible imagery and emotion.

With regards to the performances, Larson and Tremblay are, in a word, outstanding. They share an unmistakable chemistry and bring equally emotional performances out of each other.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Nov 19, 2019

Room isn't all heartbreak and despair. It's also a testament to how we make each other stronger, how we aren't meant to go at it alone.
