Was in a "Binge Box" (6 movies for 1 checkout) at my library and I watched long enough to know it was not for me. I'm rating it with a half star so I will remember not to choose it again.

2015. Inspired by actual kidnap & hostage event. A fairly good thriller movie of a young woman & her little son kept hostage by a sex slave man in his metal backyard shed until the boy escapes & notifies PD. The aftermath is somewhat…

Fictional flick. It taps into what’s happened to some kidnapped victims who have survived.

Although the kid acts superbly, the whole situation seems ill-contrived and unbelievable, so it lacks thrill and suspense. Slow-paced, I almost fell asleep during the first 40 minutes.

Very slow moving film. The little boy looks like a little girl so if you don't know anything about the movie, you could be confused. His acting was incredible. Not a feel good movie.

This was a big surprise - a story that wasn't expected. It layered so many issues together that being human creates that I could easily identify with the main character - a new found gem for me: Brie Larson. Women's circumstances in…

I remember seeing the Oscars a couple years back, and it seemed like every 10 minutes Room was getting mentioned because it got nominated for so many awards. So, when I discovered it was available to watch I pretty excited to see it…

Good acting, good pace. The little boy’s character was well played. Not a comfortable theme, the little boy kind of neutralized it, but overall it’s a good movie.

Great movie, but it's a sad one. Brie Larson was outstanding, worthy of her Academy Award win. The rest of the cast was solid too.

I'm getting too old and did not remember from the title I had already seen once before. It soon came back. But this film is that well made I watched it through to the end once more. It's so sad to think there are so many sick people in…

Superb acting, but if you're claustrophobic, do not watch this movie.

Grips the emotions and takes them to some uncomfortable places at times. It is a powerful film and 100% worth the watch. It immerses you in the supremely sheltered lives of the two leads from the outset, so catching up to the movie takes…

Room is the type of film that picks up your emotions, shakes them violently, and then doesn't let them go for the entire run time. The film's stars, Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay give fantastic performances and have amazing chemistry.…

I had not read the book, but I did read the authors impressions and she was good with it. It was an amazing human story. Redemptive.

I had read the book beforehand and the movie stayed extremely true to the book. The pros of this are lovers of the book will be happy but I was hoping the movie would bring a bit more and explore the topics deeper, which I felt it did not…

Excellent. No, superb. Granted, it's a little slow moving, especially in the early half of the film and perhaps a little drawn out, but that does not detract from the impact this film had on me. I'll be thinking about this film for a long…

It was a very realistic portrayal of the survival experience of someone kept as a sex slave. It was a story of love and survival and I felt like it nailed the real experience which no one else has. A great film even though I would not find…

I think the movie lost some important parts in the translation. IE would you keep a child of rape?

Fantastic story of a young girl who was kidnapped at 17 and kept in a shed for 7 years. During this time she gives birth to a son and at age 5, she instructs him on how to get out of the shed and get help so they both can escape. The story…

An emotional progression from captivity to final freedom. Smoothly presented. Sombre in tone. Touching in its intensity.

The best way I can describe this movie is as "a young mommy flick". Boring and overly dramatic.

The child actors part/script is so perfectly believable it makes all the other acting seem lazy because it cant keep up with so much character.

In my opinion, they did an amazing job with the movie. Of course, some of the details are lost when you compare it to the novel. I feel that from the book the reader has a better sense of Jack's innocence and the severity of their…
