ROOM<\/strong>
\nA24<\/strong>
\nReviewed by: Harvey Karten for CompuServe ShowBiz. Databased on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/strong>
\nGrade: A-<\/strong>
\nDirector:\u00a0 Lenny Abrahamson<\/strong>
\nWritten by: Emma Donoghue based on her novel<\/strong>
\nCast: Jacob Tremblay, Brie Larson, Joan Allen, William H. Macy, Sean Bridgers<\/strong>
\nScreened at: Park Ave., NYC, 9\/21\/15<\/strong>
\nOpens:\u00a0 October 16, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

In his \u201cAllegory of the Cave\u201d Plato wrote of a small group of people living in a cave, the only environment they knew.\u00a0 They saw their shadows on the wall, projected by a fire, and considered these images to be reality.\u00a0 One day, a fellow escaped from the cave, went out into the sun, and marveled at what he saw.\u00a0 He returned to his fellows, who saw that the man\u2019s eyes were blinking (from the sun) and told them what he saw.\u00a0 They thought he was crazy and rejected the story of the outside world.\u00a0 You would too.\u00a0 Just imagine yourself born in a grotto, never seeing anything beyond that one room.\u00a0 Imagine that your mother, who is imprisoned there when she was already a mature young woman, tells you about the real world.\u00a0 You might think she\u2019s crazy, too.<\/p>\n

Such is the story behind \u201cRoom,\u201d Lenny Abrahamson\u2019s film based on a novel by its scriptwriter Emma Donoghue, a tense, suspenseful and insightful book that was shortlisted for literary prizes.\u00a0 The movie opens seven years after a woman, having helped a man find a dog that he said was lost, was captured and put in a single room in a shed from which she could not escape as it is sealed by a door governed by a code known only by the owner-kidnapper.\u00a0 She could not harm or kill the man, who would rape her repeatedly each week, lest she be locked in as though buried alive with no food no-one around to help.\u00a0 Given the repeated molestations, it\u2019s a wonder only that this woman had only one child during the seven years, a child who at the opening of the film is now celebrating his fifth birthday with a cake that he baked with his mother.<\/p>\n

This is unusual story of a bond between a mother and her son, the boy having spoken to nobody but his mom for five years.\u00a0 \u201cRoom\u201d deserves praise partly for the suspense that Abrahamson evokes in his telescoped story behind the novel but mostly for superlative performances from both the youngster, Jacob Tremblay (now eight years old), in the role of Jack, and the woman, known simply as Ma, played by Brie Larson.\u00a0 This is not Tremblay\u2019s first movie: he is known for a role in Raja Gosnell\u2019s \u201cSmurfs 2\u201d and will be seen shortly in Jeremy Lutter\u2019s \u201cGord\u2019s Brother\u201d set in a land where monsters and human beings co-exist.<\/p>\n

How does a mother bring up a boy in such an odd situation?\u00a0 As you might imagine, she imposes some discipline common in the outside world such as limiting TV time (Old Nick, the kidnapper rapist, played by Sean Bridgers, supplies the room with TV and VCR as well as food, books, and the occasional game) and exercising\u00a0 with the lad upon arising.\u00a0 On most nights of the week, Jack is put inside a closet while Old Nick commits rape, the victim scared to death of resisting.\u00a0 During the seven years that Joy Newsome, known as Ma, survives in these trying circumstances she is de-glamorized, showing a pimply face and an absence of make-up, while Jack\u2019s only sign of years of incarceration is his long hair, which he fixes in a pony tail.\u00a0 Mother and son frequently laugh, but when Jack is frustrated, he lets the poor woman know by screaming and pouting, like anyone in the outside world of such a youthful age.<\/p>\n

Like the man in Plato\u2019s cave, Jack and Ma do escape, sending the second part of the movie into the outside world where Jack sees the sky, the trees, and other humans in his extended family including his grandma (Joan Allen), his grandpa (William H. Macy), now separated, and the grandmother\u2019s boyfriend Leo (Tom McCamus). Predictably enough he is frightened within the opulent home until he learn to trust the kind adults.<\/p>\n

Neither the novel nor the movie puts much emphasis on the cops-and-robbers aspect.\u00a0 We don\u2019t witness the criminal\u2019s trial or sentencing, nor is much fuss made of his arrest.\u00a0 We focus principally on the boy\u2019s wonder at the world as though he were blind during his brief life and now can see.\u00a0 With the expanding of the victims\u2019 world, we get some family dynamics, the most dramatic being Ma\u2019s arguing with her own mother for advising her to be nice to everyone.\u00a0 That counsel led to her trusting the kidnapper\u2019s story of the lost dog, leading Ma to be dragged away to the shed.<\/p>\n

\u201cRoom,\u201d which is now being considered in the running for end-year honors including the Oscars has already picked up the People\u2019s Choice award as best film at the 2015 Toronto International Festival, doubtless because the crowd were justifiably amazed by Brie Larson\u2019s greater depth as a performer, but most of all by one of the great acting jobs by eight-year-old Jacob Tremblay.<\/p>\n

Rated R.\u00a0 113 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n
