Room split me in two and then put me back together, which is not what I was expecting from a story about a woman who is imprisoned for a decade by a sadist, raped, and forced to raise her child in a tiny shed. But not only is the heinous tale handled delicately, stars Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay wholeheartedly throw themselves into the roles, giving us a mother-son relationship unlike anything you've ever seen — and two performances that are going to be talked about for years.
