This movie was in my 'TO WATCH' List for months since we came cross the trailer which gave us goosebumps, if you haven't check it out yet , here you are : 

It was the first movie we watched after passing all our exams last months, and of course because we loved it, we  re-watched it twice with our mother. 

Room tells the story of a mother and her son , Ma (Joy) and Jack living in a shed ('ROOM') ; Joy was kidnapped, locked up in room for 7 years , raped and abused by  Nick. She gave birth to Jack who is now five and that had never been out, His Mother tries to give him a normal childhood  and loving environment as possible : They watch Tv together , they play games , exercise together ...

Ma was a very strong character, she passed through a lot of pain and she experienced a lot and yet she still managed to be an amazing mom. She will think of a way to make them both escape their cruel circumstances which we will not tell you about or how, no ! we are not going to be  spoilers here haha !

The movie also expose Jack’s experience of getting to know the world :  people, places and things; He teaches us to no take it all for granted and to explore / try everything which is really magnificent.

The story is told beautifully despite being a tragic one, we can’t even tell you how stunning , breathtaking job  these actors did in playing these roles, you almost believe that she is his real mom!!  

Overall , Room is such beautiful, well done , inspiring movie that we will definitely , surely , absolutely and undoubtedly  RECOMMEND!  

We are looking forward to read the book asap and review it.

“Ma and I have decided that because we don’t know what we like, we get to try everything. There are so many things out here. And sometimes, it’s scary, but that’s okay, because it’s still just you and me.”
