Ten Films to See at TIFF 2015

5. Room

Last year’s Sundance sensation, Frank, made me laugh and feel pathos for a disturbed musician who almost never takes off a paper-mâché head. The director, Lenny Abrahamson, appears to be examining more dark themes in his follow-up, but potentially without the humor. Brie Larson plays a mother who confines her ten-year-old son to a 10×10 room, but things become more complicated as the young boy grows more and more curious.
