"Room is a soul searching celebration of the impenetrable bond that endures, even under the most unbearable of circumstances, between a parent and a child." Roger Ebert.com

All his life, five year old Jack has lived contentedly with Ma in a ten foot square room in which she has lovingly created a whole world for him. When this situation changes dramatically they are both faced with a new reality, incomprehensible and perhaps impossible to adjust to.

"a heartbreaking tale of the power of motherly love and of a nurtured child's ability to find light in the dark woods of the adult world" Mark Kermode, Observer
