Room

This was without any doubt one of the best films from 2016.
The performances were espectacular. Brie Larson totally deserved that Oscar and the little Jacob Tremblay has make a path for himself in the acting world.

If you haven't seen Room, you should totally do it. But don't confuse Room with The Room, that is a whole different story. (That one has been catalog as the worst movie ever, but if you want to watch it ironically, oh boy, get ready to cringe)

Going back to the marvelous Room, the scenery in the room looks amazing. At the beginning you can see how Mom and Jack live in that tiny space and how Jack doesn't feel claustrophobic, that small room is his whole life, but for her mother, is the constant reminder that she is kidnap and rape by a sick man that lives next to the shed they call Room.

For seven years that has been her life: a shed with a bed, two chairs a small kitchen, a bathtub, a toilet and a closet where she has to hide her little boy from the night's she's rape by Old Nick.

Emma Donoghue, the writer portrayed that story scenery in her books that is unbelievable because is actually narrated by the little jack, that is only 5 years old. And to think that it was based on a case where the girl was rape by his father makes it worse. If you want more insight about the creepy story that inspired the great book.
