Room follows Joy, a young woman held captive in a small shed for seven years, who has raised her five-year-old son Jack entirely within those four walls. After a daring escape, both mother and son must navigate the overwhelming and confusing outside world while trying to heal from their trauma. The film is a deeply emotional story about resilience, love, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child.
Lenny Abrahamson films Brie Larson and her son after seven years in a shed. The film is the trauma the rescue does not solve; the grief is the second half.
