alternativecandidate: Room (2015) “[O]ne of the reasons for Room’s bifurcated structure is that Donoghue and Abrahamson are to some extent debunking the idea of a ‘happily ever after.’ What makes the film so effective—and at times so beautiful—is that it’s painfully aware of how time passes and things change. Back in their prison, when Jack rebels against Joy being honest about what’s really happening, she shushes him with the line, ‘This is the story you get.’ Room should hit home with everyone who worries about how to tell the generation behind them what lies ahead—especially when we can’t always see what’s in front of ourselves.”Noel Murray, A.V.
