Our take on Room

Lenny Abrahamson's 2015 drama follows a young woman and the son born during her years held captive in a single room, as they escape into a world he has never seen. Harrowing yet hopeful and told partly through a child's eyes, it's a study of love, trauma and resilience. If its emotional intensity and tenderness moved you, seek out intimate dramas about survival, motherhood and rebuilding a life after the unthinkable.
