Plot
Jack (Jacob Tremblay), a child of five, lives with his mother (Brie Larson) in a little room of 3x3 meters. She's been there enclosed, by force, for seven years, so for Jack the world, all he knows, is encapsulated in that room (which his mother has called, euphemistically, as "The Room"). Also, for the mother, all that matters in the world is her son, so she strives earnestly to try that Jack lead a life as normal as possible, within those four walls. But Jack's curiosity to know more, from his age, growing and growing, at the same time the concern of his mother. The way forward is simple... 'Room' is an adaptation of the successful novel by Emma Donoghue, also responsible for writing the script. The film was praised by critics considerably and has been awarded the Audience Award for Best Film at the Toronto Film Festival.

Trivia
A film adaptation from the best selling novel, Room. The author, Emma Donoghue, conceived the story after hearing about five-year-old Felix in the Fritzl case. The case concerns a woman who was locked in a basement by her father who impregnated her with seven children, including Felix.
Brie Larson claimed that she avoided washing her face while filming in the Room, to really make clear on-camera that she was not wearing makeup.
Emma Donoghue, the author of the original book, was also the screenwriter of the film.
