Brie Larson’s Best Movie With Almost Zero Bad Reviews Climbs Up Netflix Chart 9 Years After Release
So many issues explored at once.
There’s always a little more pressure on those directors who decide to create something more than a lighthearted romantic comedy. Of course, you have to be able to have this easy life attitude to create one of those, but the thing is – there’s a 99% chance that your viewer will end up satisfied and with a smile on their face.
The whole other story is when it comes to thrillers, psychological dramas and even horrors. It’s so much more than just writing a story that will catch the audience's attention and the right casting. Everything has to be in perfect sync to create a lasting effect on every viewer, but the hard part is that there’s no universal recipe for that.
That’s why even if you take all the psychological dramas and try to compare them using some common criteria you wouldn’t be able to do it. The interesting thing though is that the genre is really loved by the viewers, probably because it makes them think a lot.
Recently Netflix ’s global chart was stormed by an old gem: psychological drama called Room is attracting more and more viewers despite being released in 2015. The movie has a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score and almost no bad reviews.
The premise of the movie seems to be simple at first glance: the story revolves around a little boy who is trapped in a room with his mother since he was born. The role of the boy named Jack is played by Jacob Tremblay and Brie Larson portrayed the mother Ma. Needless to say, the viewers were stunned with the performances they gave.
The main characters are trapped in a room for most of their time on screen and sometimes we see a guy named Old Nick coming to the apartment, bringing food and abusing the mother. And that’s the reality a little boy has to live in.
Room is a deeply emotional movie that however is neither a horror nor a film about captivity. It’s a story about how supportive of each other Jack and Ma are and how a little person adapts to an uncomfortable reality: the first one being the fact that his whole world is a 10x10 room, and the second one when he escapes and realizes the world is bigger and is more dangerous than being trapped.
Room is available to stream on Netflix.
