am glad i didn't watch any trailers before seeing this movie,because it would've ruined the suspense of first act of the movie for me.

I knew almost nothing about the movie and didn't know they would escape, or that they would spend half the movie outside the room, dealing with the consequences. It made the movie much more powerful and interesting, and also cathartic, because despite all the anguish you do get the great relief of their escape.

I feel the same way. all I saw before seeing the movie was a 30 second Netflix preview of her explaining to jack what the outside world was before I pressed played. about halfway trough the movie i just thought about how I wished they would show what they would have to deal with after they might or might not have gotten out of there, and then I saw that there was an hour left of the movie and it felt so satisfying.

This movie really does bring up some visceral feelings-- the tension and suspense surrounding their initial stay in 'room', which is added to by great performances; you genuinely feel as though 'room' is everything to that kid. Then following that, the drama of: will they execute their escape? Will the kidnapper be apprehended? And so on... Then there is the most damning part of the movie: the psychological commentary on how difficult it is to mentally readjust to something completely new to you. In some instances you feel as though the kid might have been happier having stayed in room, even though that would have been a substantially bigger detriment on his life. I suppose all in all, it chronicles how difficult trying to get your life back actually is, and further how hard readjusting to a new 'normal' is.

Mixed feelings about this film. It's definitely well acted (at least by Jacob Tremblay who plays Jack) but it never stopped feeling like a Lifetime special for me. I think they're giving Brie Larson way too much credit here because she came off as flat to me. I don't know where they got "beautifully written" cause there's not a lot of story going on and worst of all IMO the movie never tries to go deeper into what kind of damage and effect this kind of situation would have on the characters. The movie is all surface level emotion with no real substance, just a carefully constructed Fake Deep movie that's just supposed to make you have The Feels. It's definitely good at getting emotions out of you but once you think about it it falls apart (The kid is the movies saving grace).

Just watched this movie. Cried all the way through it. So sad and amazing. Insignificant things that made it unbelievable. - Why not just hack that keypad. Just enter every four digit number on the keypad and be free. Did she not have time? Or is it a five digit number or 6 digit number. Still doable. - When they are free every scene looked like it took place in the fall-winter. Looked like a lot of progress in Jack learning things took place in a couple of months. In reality I bet that would take longer like years. - When Jack escapes from the truck, he just happened to jump out when there was another person to see. That was damn lucky. - When Nick was taking out Jack, do you think Nick was that dumb to not check the body. That entire scene where she had him wrapped up and saying just take him away seemed so fake. Like a mother who just lost her son wouldn't mourn. Even when Jack was in the back and sitting up Nick didn't see this thing in the rear view mirror until a moment later. I see a garbage bag in my bed and I notice it flying up and down. - And how long does it take the police to show up when he was lying on the ground. Seemed like hours later because it was dark then. And the police wasn't concerned about calling paramedics. Nothing too serious, just things that I thought about while watching the movie. It was a really great performance by the kid. Worth seeing.

"Why not just hack that keypad. Just enter every four digit number on the keypad and be free. Did she not have time? Or is it a five digit number or 6 digit number. Still doable." In the book, Ma literally has a game with Jack to just press all the buttons randomly, Jack doesn't think about it, but it is quite obvious what Ma is doing. "When they are free every scene looked like it took place in the fall-winter. Looked like a lot of progress in Jack learning things took place in a couple of months. In reality I bet that would take longer like years. " Jack still had the T.V. in the room. He knows about things, he just thought they were all fake and is learning they are actually real. In fact in the book, I believe several characters are actually surprised at just how good he is at reading/spelling and counting.

Also the direction wasn't very unique nor visually interesting. Some of the dialogue was laughably written and the supporting characters were just cardboard cutouts of not developed characters. The one positive I have: the sequence when Brie and her son were planning the escape and the actual escape was great. That was the only time during the movie that I actually felt something.

I'm midway through this video and I'm thinking: goddamnit they're all praising it, the guy said "there are no missteps", the woman said it was awesome five or six times with different expressions, Ben said it continues to be smart, etc. Nobody is identifying anything wrong with it. They're going to give it a 7 or something. Edit: Phew, FINALLY a 10 from anybody! From EVERYBODY, really! What a good surprise :)

I love movies. Rarely do I not like a movie actually so maybe this is another overreaction on my part but I've never really known what my favorite movie was or what I thought the best was, until after watching this. No it's not my favorite movie, because it's not one your gonna want to watch on family movie night. But Room is by far the best movie I have ever watched. I cried twice! No movie has ever made me cry twice. Hardly any have made me do that once. I was cheering so hard for these two characters more than in any other movie.

Didn't think too much of it, tries to be two different films and is average in both departments. Not saying it's bad but can't give it anything beyond 7/10. This is not psychological, if you want psychological watch Bergman's Persona.

Half of this film I loved and the other half was dumb and annoying. The scenes in Room were great. I understood the patience that Ma (Joy Newman) had to endure to care for her son. You got to see so many facets of what it takes to be a parent and to deal with external situations as well. Truly speaks to the effort of parenthood. By the time they get out of Room, certain scenes were good, but most of it wasn't relatable and was disjointed. Though great performance, I couldn't relate through his change, because no one ha lived their entire life in a shed, and the movie changes from being whimsical with Jack seeing the world, Ma's father being distant for little reason, adding unnecessary awkward feel, or Brie Larson's depression. Most didn't feel natural because tones and reactions were being thrown with no context to understand and give meaning to them, and the kid perspective is just annoying as we can't relate to a character like his. I got an ok experience, but most of it was bad.
@theolamp53128 жыл бұрын
+Jorge Ortiz - I initially thought that the movie could have ended after 100 min. But, the grandfather was distant because her daughter was raped, and he could not initially recognize him as his grandson. And, Ma was having a great deal of problems with others coming into her sons life. She was for 5 years the only connect to her son. And she was afraid of what other people might do to take that connection away from her. Or, change the values she instilled in him. Does that make any sense to you, Best wishes, Ted

Interesting how this movie deals so much with the aftermath of Jack and his mothers' captivity. I think she actually has more difficulty adjusting to the "real" world than he does, which surprisingly also makes a lot of sense. I think children are able to adjust to change more easily than adults.
@theolamp53128 жыл бұрын
+Enilnimai Shnoodlenoftz - Ma's biggest issue was when the interviewer implied that she was selfish keeping Jack. When she might have had him dropped off at a hospital and Jack would have been free (Ma fearing she wasn't the great mother she thought she was). Also, in room, Ma was the only person that could give Jack a "normal life". After escaping room, Ma no longer felt as needed as she had been. I think she also feared that she would no longer be the center of Jack's life. I agree with your point. But, I think it gets a lot more complicated than just young and old.
@stevek64326 жыл бұрын
that's because she got him out whilst he was 'still plastic' meaning a young child's developing brain can readjust to major changes much better than an older child or adult
