Room (2015) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online I remain struck by both the simplicity and tenderness of the narrative that is haunted by a deep tragedy. Rated: A Mar 21, 2017 Full Review Room (2015) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Kristen Yoonsoo Kim Complex Room takes a nightmarish premise in an impossibly contained set and turns it into one of this year's most emotionally poignant films. Rated: 4/5 Feb 27, 2017 Full Review Room (2015) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Room is a lithe, deeply moving wonder that builds to a miraculous coda. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 22, 2016 Full Review Room (2015) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) JD Duran InSession Film Familial love is a beautiful thing and Room does everything it can to make that resonate on a deep level.

James V Incredibly boring. Unbelievable plot. Not sure what the entire point of the second half of the movie is. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Nick R Brilliantly acted with a heartbreaking story, 'Room' is a very powerful and emotional film that will hit the hearts of everyone who watches it. Even though it is a very hard to watch movie at times, it is something that should be watched. Brie Larson is incredible and Jacob Trembly plays Jack so well. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Fabrícia F Um retrato do drama angustiante de uma jovem mãe presa em um cativeiro por um predador sexual, que se vê obrigada a construir uma realidade paralela para o próprio filho na intenção de zelar por sua saúde emocional e evitar traumas a criança. Atuações consistentes e um roteiro original, tornam essa experiência crível e emocionante. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review Thats A Without a doubt, this film will tug on your heartstrings. The perspective for the film jumps from a world we take for granted and the other we wish we never visited. The film is shown in the perspective of a child's imagination and an adult reality. The film is told in such a way as to the point when you see the credits scroll up. The film still continues the story of that world living beyond the screen. “Overall the film screams great hidden cinema. I would have given it 6 out of 5 but there wasn’t enough room.” Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Michael P Realistic trials and tribulations, sad and heartfelt movie. I'm happy with the fact that they made the move to show how life had been after-the-fact. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Joshua m This is one of those movies that you are not allowed to criticize because it is about an abused child and wife. The acting is quite good. It has that going for it. Most of it takes place in one room. After 20 minutes it wears out its welcome and becomes quite tedious. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
