Room.
Too harrowing for me. Great film, dont understand why the child actor didn't get award for the role.
But what I didnt like was the strange turn at the end towards her parenting skills.
There is no way any solicitor would allow such a question on tv ( do you think you should have let the child go when born to be free) - what a stupid question, hand over child to kidnapping sexually deviant mad man? To kill? to rape? Then the path the film followed about her mother skills....
odd. Shame. Her own cold mother.
I knew it would be a challenging film, but I was given impression the second half when they escape was up lifting, I I suffered the first part in floods of tears, waiting for redemption, waiting for the second half when they explore the outside world, when they go out, to the beach, do simple things that will be amazing to them.
It never came, we just moved to another room her parents house, more drama and more upset.
Awful I have not been so traumatised since I accidentally watched the original Elephant man at 12 on late night TV. And before that, Bambi.
