Could possibly be the most unsettling movie I watched in 2015. "Room" makes you feel all the right emotions at all the right moments, and even keeps its momentum after its major tone shift halfway through.

"Room" by Yojimbo

A young woman who has been held prisoner by a sexual predator for the last seven years spends all of her time locked in a single room with her 5 year old son. Room is has highly unusual approach to the subject matter of kidnap and its victims; instead of concentrating on the criminal aspect, it looks to the victims and how they must adapt and adjust to their circumstances.

The film wouldn't work without that bond, and in Larson and Tremblay, the film absolutely shines. Larson (deservedly) won a boatload of awards (including the …

Immer wieder vergewaltigt und ohne Verbindung zur äusseren Welt. Sie überlegt, wie sie vor dem Monster fliehen soll,d er sie gefangen hält - Das ist nur ein einfacher Entwurf aus dem, was sich in Room vor uns entfaltet als intensiv spürbares filmisches Experiment: Die 24jährige Joy (Brie Larson) und ihr kleiner Sohn Jack leben in einem schäbigen Raum mit Kochecke, Bett, Tisch und Toilette. Alles wirkt ramponiert und schmutzig. Irgendwann merken wir, dass die beiden Insassen eines Gefängnisses sind und den Raum niemals verlassen. Joy seit ihrer Entführung vor sieben Jahren, der Junge seit seiner Geburt. Er ist der Sohn des Entführers, das Ergebnis einer von zahlreichen Vergewaltigungen. Trotzdem liebt Joy ihr Kind über alles. Sie lässt es in dem Glauben aufwachsen, der Raum sei …
