"Room" on Netflix

I watched the film "Room" the other day on Netflix. This is an intense movie, and definitely not for everyone, but so moving and affecting.

I give it content notes for: Abuse, rape, suicide attempt.

The premise is, a young woman has been kidnapped and locked in a room for a number of years. She now has a 5-year-old child, Jack, who has lived his entire life in that room. The whole story is from Jack's perspective. My favorite part of this film was that the story kept going on for quite a while after they escaped. We see the fallout of their trauma. There are so many little moments that stayed with me. It's a story about courage, survival, love.

I watched this a couple months ago and really enjoyed it. I think my favorite part was that the movie was from his POV; it gave some nice distance from the horrible parts without shying away from anything.

Yes, well said. It was very effective.
