Room (I) (2015)
7/10
Beautifully told but fundamentally flawed
11 January 2016
Warning: Spoilers
A beautifully told story through the eyes of a brilliant 5 year old. Such innocence beautifully portrayed.

Great performances, a good film. Nothing more.

I have a few issues with this film

1) Would the mother trust her child with a man who was willing to keep them captive for so many years?

2) How lucky, Old Nick put the rug on the right hand side of the truck, meaning Jack could roll out to the left as practiced.

3) Why would Old Nick just drop Jack like that?

4) It took all of 30 mins to locate both the room and Old Nick.

5) Surely wouldn't Jack & Ma have more psychology damage?
