Abrahamson totally could have held on Larson after she says, “I don’t know what’s wrong with me,” but instead he switches to a shot of Tremblay during which you can practically see the wheels in his head turning.Īfter the escape, Jack and Ma strike up/rekindle relationships with a number of key supporting characters. Just take a look at this clip from the film that A24 released. They knew exactly how to shoot Tremblay’s performance and just the right moments to cut to him. Tremblay definitely did his job exceptionally well and then Abrahamson, cinematopgraher Danny Cohen and editor Nathan Nugent took it to another level.
He’s incredibly natural and charismatic, has a mesmerizing on screen presence and loads of chemistry with Larson. However, it also seemed highly unlikely that Abrahamson and his team would be able to find a young actor who’s capable of conveying all of the thoughts and emotions that Jack expresses in the book, but they certainly did the impossible in that department because Tremblay is a revelation. It’s tough enough to naturally incorporate just the slightest bit of voiceover, a whole movie’s worth would have felt forced and grown tiresome. There was no way Jack could break down each and every moment of Room the movie. It’s about how the experience changed them and there’s no purer way to convey that than via the perspective of a child. Room isn’t just about getting out and getting home. Rather than throw all the details at you via a character who is well aware of what she’s lost, Jack’s narration lets you view the situation from a completely fresh standpoint, adding a number of unique, powerful layers to the story. It’s a shocking, warped way of living, but what makes Room such a thoughtful, poignant piece of work is how Donoghue presents it all. However, little does he know, certain parts of his daily routine are there to better their chances of going home. and they operate on a schedule that will keep him as healthy and happy as possible. Everything has a proper name - Rug, Wardrobe, Door, etc.
Prior to his fifth birthday, Ma basically constructs and lives in Jack’s world. The entire novel is narrated by Jack, which is a downright brilliant decision. There are a number of reasons why Room is an especially challenging book to adapt, but the one that I suspect could have sunk the big screen rendition is how Donoghue approached the narration.
