Room

I think I liked the performances of the mother (Brie Larson) and son (Jacob Tremblay) in the film, but I think I needed just a few more details to be fleshed out in the third act. The concept is harrowing, young woman is captive in a small room, bears a child, and that child only knows life while being captive inside that room for 5 years, and having to fully depend on the captor for the bare necessities, and a mother who normalizes the confining experience as best she can given the situation. It's like being born guilty of a crime that requires incarceration in a small room with little hope for parole.

I give it 3 stars, or a grade of B.
