An extraordinarily story, and it will give you chills.
The thing that i loved that the story-line was from the child's eyes.
One of 2015 best movies.

Wow, just wow! Brie Larson is fantastic!

I think that the real Oscar winner should be Jacob Tremblay. ;>

You wouldn't believe how hard my heart was pounding when Jack was escaping

This was hands down my favorite movie of 2015. It's been a very long time since I cried while watching a movie, but this one broke me. Brie Larson deserves every award she gets and Jacob Tremblay is one of the best child actors I've seen in years. This is a difficult movie to watch, but it's one you don't want to miss.

Very emotional movie. I found incredibly interesting how at first Joy was very quick to go back to her old life while Jack had trouble adjusting and the roles reversed and Jack was being strong for Joy...
A masterpiece..

What an amazing film, beautifully directed, written, and performed. It is one of those films that will stay with you for days, weeks, years later. So many touching moments throughout the film, of genuine raw emotion.

The film is so well directed, creating that sense of space in the first half of the film, that a whole world can exist in this room, the decision to have the story told from young Jack's perspective was just inspired. Even a closet seems to be a whole world to this young child. Brie Larson gives an amazing performance. Just cannot speak more highly of this movie......go see it!

The plot of this remarkable film suggests it has been ripped from recent headlines, detailing a young woman's captivity in a shed. This all suggests a deeply unpleasant experience, but the filmmakers make a crucial choice to tell the story from the point of view of the woman's 5 year old son who knows no other world other than the room they are held in. Essentially a two-hander for much of the film between mother and son, it is deeply moving and uplifting despite the nature of the plot, as film portrays their daily existence, the young boy's attempts to make sense of the world around him and his mother's efforts to protect him. Both actors give remarkable performances, with Larson fully deserving the critical praise being thrown her way, yet the film is equally dependent on a wonderfully natural performance from the young Jacob Tremblay. Never exploitative, the film can be quite unsettling and tense at times, but as the story gives way to the aftermath, the focus on the bond between parent and child throughout make for a film that is powerfully affecting.
