The critical consensus

Tough, but resilience is amply rewarded. If last year’s larky Frank suggested Abrahamson was a director to watch, this makes him a director to be cherished.

****(*)Olly Richards, Empire Online, 06/01/2016

A prize-winning page-turner becomes a moving, harrowing and redemptive drama about the ties that bind a mother to her child. Be warned: one box of tissues may not be enough.

*****Neil Smith, Total Film, 11/01/2016

A disturbing and absorbing film, shrewdly acted, particularly by Larson.

****(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 14/01/2016

Visionary film-making defies genre stereotyping.

****(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 14/01/2016

Told with intelligence and discretion, Room is distinguished by exceptional performances.

****(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 15/01/2016

Room is superbly acted but is, ironically, less convincing in the “real” world than the “fake” one established by Ma to protect her son in the room.

***(*)(*)Henry Fitzherbert, Sunday Express, 17/01/2016

Brie Larson is nothing short of perfect in this heartbreaking, life-affirming drama brilliantly directed by Lenny Abrahamson.

*****Mark Kermode, The Observer, 17/01/2016
