Adapting the novel of the same name by Emma O’Donoghue, Lenny Abrahamson’s Room is already being talked about in the same breath as the Oscars, and watching the latest U.K. trailer it’s easy to see why, with Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay promising performances totally deserving of a golden statuette. Check it out below.
Released: 15th January (IRL/U.K.)
Synopsis: Told through the eyes of five-year-old-Jack (Tremblay), ROOM is a thrilling and emotional tale that celebrates the resilience and power of the human spirit. To Jack, Room is the world.... It's where he was born, it's where he and his Ma (Larson) eat and sleep and play and learn. But while it’s home to Jack, to Ma it’s a prison. Through her fierce love for her son, Ma has managed to create a childhood for him in their ten-by-ten-foot space. But as Jack’s curiosity is building alongside Ma’s own desperation – she knows that Room cannot contain either indefinitely.
