Title: Room
Review: Startling film about a woman and her child kept in a garden shed by a true sicko for seven years and what happens when they escape. Larson and Tremblay as mother and five year old son are remarkable. Allen is wonderful as the reunited grandmother and William H. Macy plays a troubling small part as the lost dad/granddad. Very, very tense movie with amazing shots inside the tiny prison room. A lot of darkness about human nature here. The second half dragged a bit- but a major must see.
