It’s all stuff we’ve kinda seen before, but somehow Lenny Abrahamson’s Room manages to get to a deep, dark place in one’s psyche and then proceeds to work its magic within. Saying “It’s all stuff we’ve kinda seen before” is a bit inaccurate, to be fair. Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay are superb in their roles as imprisoned abductee mother and “room-schooled” son. I smell some Oscars here, although those knuckleheads will probably get it wrong. Again.

Thank goodness I got some extra tissues!
