Powerful submitted by Zekicmom on July 23, 2016, 5:49pm Amazingly well done interpretation of a difficult book and subject. I cannot say enough about the performances of Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay.

Room submitted by a2sue on August 28, 2016, 10:19am "Room" blew me away -- Jacob Tremblay was astonishing to watch and gave a magnificent performance. And the story line was truly troubling, to say the least...

Brie submitted by KOH on August 2, 2017, 10:38am Brie Larson is incredible in this. Such a heartbreaking but wonderful movie. While you're on the library website, check out the book too if you haven't read it yet.

Room submitted by SBNB on August 24, 2017, 3:46pm It’s a good movie. As a mother, it was rather difficult to watch. But it was good.

Room submitted by nharmon on July 27, 2018, 12:09pm Very good but emotionally tearing.

Sad yet great. submitted by LVDS on July 27, 2018, 1:37pm Powerhouse movie about some of the evil in the world and a mom who overcomes it with her son.
Sad to say, but forms of sexual slavery like this are happening all over our world TODAY!
Let's be aware to protect and avoid!!

Bittersweet submitted by lstorc on August 27, 2018, 5:24pm This is a fantastically portrayed story of recovery and adaptation. It has resonance and poignancy. This is not for the faint of heart.
