Room
Maybe it’s about time Brie Larson gets the love she deserves. Her performance in Short Term 12 was one of the best in 2013, but hardly anyone even knows that movie exists. That can’t happen this time, it’s not allowed. Room has a fairly simple premise: Ma (Larson) and Jack (Jacob Tremblay) are locked in a room for five years with no way to the outside world. Larson and the youngster Tremblay lift this movie to unimaginable levels and help to bring this story to life. Room should be one of the most important films of 2015 and it should finally be time that Brie Larson gets some recognition. If Room and Larson get snubbed though, that’d be a damn shame.
