It was released in UK cinemas only 15 days into 2016, but Room is my favourite film of the year.
Synopsis: Based on the novel by Emma Donoghue, who also wrote the screenplay, Room follows the lives of Ma (Brie Larson) and her five-year-old son Jack (Jacob Tremblay), as they are held in a squalid shed which they call Room. We see the experiences of Jack as he ventures out of Room for the first time, to a range of new experiences, and the struggles of Ma as she tries to adjust to life again in the real world, after seven years of being held captive.
I urge you to seek out this amazing film if you have yet to see it, and I greatly look forward to seeing the work of Brie Larson (Ma) and Jacob Tremblay (Jack) in 2017 and beyond!

Warning, this trailer is quite spoiler-ish!

Good choice… will definitely make my top 10 (which I am still compiling). Agree with your comment about the trailer containing horrible spoilers…. I was so incensed I actually recut the trailer which you can see at the foot of my review here: https://bob-the-movie-man.com/2016/01/27/one-manns-movies-film-review-room/ !

Thanks! It is such an excellent film. I like your recut trailer – too many trailers nowadays tend to spoil the film, so I try to avoid them as much as possible.
