Room. Kidnapped, confined to a tiny room and raped, a young woman gives birth to a son. When he reaches his fifth birthday, she begins plotting an escape. Brie Larson won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for her role in this critically acclaimed drama.
The Room is a 2019 French horror film directed by Christian Volckman and starring Olga Kurylenko, Kevin Janssens, John Flanders, Joshua Wilson, and Carole Weyers.
Room was loosely inspired (or, as Donoghue has put it, “triggered”) by the real-life story of Josef Fritzl, an Austrian man who for 24 years confined his daughter in his basement, where she gave birth to seven children fathered by him.

What genre is The Book Room by Emma Donoghue?
Room is a fantastic book about a mother and her son Jack surviving in an 11x11 foot space. The whole book is written from the son Jack's perspective, which truly adds a unique twist to the book. I found that instead of hindering the book, Jack's perspective only helped to make it even more brilliant.
When did the book room come out?
Plot. In Akron, Ohio, 24-year-old Joy Newsome and her 5-year-old son Jack live in a squalid shed they call Room.
What nationality is Brie Larson?
Filming. Principal photography took place over a three-month period during the summer of 2014 in several North Carolina locations, including Charlotte, Kannapolis, Concord, Hickory and Birkdale Village in Huntersville. At Oakwood Cemetery in Concord, two different scenes set 40 years apart were filmed.
How to See The Room Before You See The Disaster Artist. But should you decide you need to watch Tommy Wiseau's opus before checking out the story of its creation, you may find yourself with a very 2017 problem: The Room isn't streaming anywhere. Not Netflix, not Amazon, not Hulu, not HBO, and certainly not FilmStruck.
The Disaster Artist, James Franco's adaptation of the making of Wiseau's The Room, a famously terrible movie-turned-beloved cult hit, pulled in $1.2 million at the box office this weekend, a stellar opening for the latest A24 offering.
