Summary: Brie Larson (actress) and Lenny Abrahamson (director) at The Landmark in West Los Angeles. Moderated by Greg Ellwood from Hitfix. Film synopsis: The highly suspenseful and deeply emotional drama Room tells the extraordinary story of Jack (Jacob Tremblay), a spirited 5-year-old who is looked after by his loving and devoted Ma (Brie Larson, The Spectacular Now, Short Term 12). Confined to a windowless, 10-by-10-foot space named “Room,” Ma has created a whole universe for Jack, and she will stop at nothing to ensure that he is able to live a complete and fulfilling life. But as Jack's curiosity about their situation grows, and Ma's resilience reaches its breaking point, they enact a risky plan to escape, ultimately bringing them face-to-face with what may turn out to be the scariest thing yet: the real world. Based on the award-winning global bestseller by screenwriter Emma Donoghue and also starring Joan Allen and William H. Macy, Room is a unique and unexpectedly tender exploration of the boundless love between a mother and her child under the most harrowing of circumstances. Directed by Lenny Abrahamson (Frank).
