Room ***
Held
captive for years in an enclosed space, a woman and her 5-year-old son, whom
she had with her kidnapper, attempt to gain their freedom.
Uncomfortable,
incredibly moving and sensitive depiction of parents and children and the
universe of love and animosity they create with one another. It dips here and
there, but it conveys a potent subtlety on such trauma and the performances are
uniformly exceptional.
