Room

[Insidious Von]

The best film of 2015.

Will Hollywood acclaim it as such, probably not but that's to the Academy's detriment. I watched it for the second time and it hit like a ton of bricks. The premise is shocking made even more by the low key manner of it's presentation. Brie Larson is a Cate Blanchett in the making and young Jacob Tremblay will wear Serengeti shades - assuming that he's given the time to just be a kid. The motif for this cinematic year is revenge, but revenge can also be a dish served cheap. There was a crucial point in this film where revenge appeared forthcoming but they didn't go route. If you've seen it attempt to forget it for the remainder of the year - you won't be able to.

That looks like it was filmed in Toronto.

I see the old grain silos down by Cherry Street, the Gardiner Expressway, the Beaches,

 

[Don Draper]

It was filmed in Toronto.

Apache Burger, Riverdale Hospital and Etobioke all make appearances.

Brilliant, excellent film making, Not to be missed.

Room is a Canadian-Irish financed film.

I laughed when Apache Burger showed up. Since the Persians bought Steak Queen, they make better burgers - I just have to cleanse the memory of former Mayor Bumboclot when I go there.

I been watching Jennifer Lawrence film from the begging. She is a vibrant flamboyant actor, but she is not developed enough to be able to play Joy Newsome convincingly. Brie Larson appears wise beyond her young years, but I'd never seen any of her films. Prior to Room, I'd only seen her on Craig Ferguson's former show. I miss Craig.

disturbing film. for the first 20 minutes of the film i thought i was watching a sci-fi movie. great acting by the two leads. a little disappointed that william h. macy didn't have more screen time.

saddest thing is that right now such an event is occurring somewhere in the world as i type.

It was a great movie, one of my favourites of the year. I couldn't imagine how it must feel to experience the outside world for the first time but this film makes you think about it.
