If you aren’t familiar with the storyline  Emma Donoghue’s best-selling novel of 2010, is told by a young boy named Jack who spends his first five years locked in a small square room with his “Ma.” The young mother does what she can to make Jack’s life rich and full. When they finally escape from their confined surroundings, Jack is free to discover the outside world — a revelation to a child who has lived only within four walls.   The book is lyrical, profoundly disturbing and a total page-turner, And now it has been made into a film of the same name.  

It’s an amazing drama directed by Lenny Abrahamson and written by Emma Donoghue, based on her 2010 New York Timesbestseller novel “Room” By Emma Donoghue. The film stars Brie Larson, Joan Allen and, William H. Macy, 

Both highly suspenseful and deeply emotional, this film is a unique and unexpectedly tender exploration of the boundless love between a mother and her child.  After 5-year-old Jack and his Ma escape from the enclosed surroundings that Jack has known his entire life, the boy makes a thrilling discovery: the outside world.  As he experiences all the joy, excitement, and fear that this new adventure brings, he holds tight to the one thing that matters most of all–his special bond with his loving and devoted Ma.

    I had not heard of Room before but it sounds like it would be an interesting read. Were the boy and his mother being held hostage or were they confined by the mother’s choice?
