Julia Barker needs to escape, and so she does, fleeing her dull, weathered life in search of something unspoken and abstract, something that in dramatic bolts appears to be a cavernous old warehouse, bare, dungy yet bathed in an ethereal guiding light spraying from a grid of industrial windows. What is this place? The woman, clenched in midlife despair, spends much of Kyle Henry's transfixing and supremely confident debut feature, "Room," on a quest to locate the warehouse. Read the full review
A working-class wife and mother, Julia Barker has begun having psychic visions of a room — stark, vacuous and industrial. After waking up from a minor car accident, Julia follows her vision to New York City. She knows that she must find the room.
