Watch of the Week:

Room With the highly anticipated Captain Marvel coming out this weekend, I want to recommend another movie that stars Brie Larson. Nominated for four Oscars (and winning one—Brie Larson for Best Actress in a Leading Role), Room follows Larson and her five-year-old son as they attempt to escape “Room,” a tiny shed in the back of their kidnapper’s backyard. Typically, just trying to get out of that kind of predicament is enough for any movie. I’d have no problem watching two hours of nerve-wracking escape attempts. What makes this film stand out, howev- er, is that it looks at the problem as a whole. A superhero saves the world and gets the girl, but it’s not often that you see the after-effects of destroyed buildings and wrecked lives. Room takes you on the roller coaster of escaping imprisonment but then puts you on an entirely new ride as a mother and son must now figure out how to operate in a world that they have been hidden from for so long. Your heart will go through the wringer on this one. THE STUDENT MOVEMENT 12
