Room

Jack lives in Room with Ma. It’s all he’s ever known—eleven square feet of space, with only a skylight to glimpse the outside world. Ma says it’s to keep them safe, but Jack doesn’t understand from what. As he turns five, his curiosity grows, and Ma realizes they can’t stay forever. A heart-wrenching tale of love, resilience, and the unbreakable bond between mother and child, “Room” explores the power of imagination and the strength of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable circumstances.
