i like motion pictures

let's face it, "harrowing" is overused when reviewing films. but if Room isn't harrowing, it's shuddering. i nearly was stricken by what felt like a combination of panic attack and asthma attack. if Larson is winning accolades, i don't know why Tremblay isn't. then the goodness stopped. the high standards it set itself in the first half meant the second half was always in a losing battle. Room is a two-hour film that should've been told in one hour.
