This film is based off the novel with the same name written by Emma Donoghue. Jack and his mother, Joy, escape from the room that they were imprisoned in for seven (entirety of Jack's life). Jack's imagination aids him as he discovers a strange world outside of the room, and watches his mothers struggles.
This film was directed by Lenny Abrahamson. It is great knowing that the author of the novel also wrote the screenplay. The story of this film hits a very dark and emotional nerve that can be jarring. That being said, by telling the story from the perspective of the son it opens the film to imagination and keeps it from being intensely depressing. It also offers a new variation to a familiar story. It is was also great that this film focused on the characters instead of generating needless action or morbid horror. Jacob Tremblay played the role of Jack. His astounding performance drove the film to its emotional peak. Brie Larson played the role of Ma/Joy. Her emotional performance created the image of a broken and compassionate mother.
I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! It is a great dramatic film with amazing performances.
This film can be seen on DVD.
Answer to last blog: Actor Basil Rathbone played an early version of Sherlock Holmes in The Hound of the Baskervilles (1938).
