Five-year-old Jack (Jacob Tremblay) grew up with the full and loving attention of his doting young mom Joy (Brie Larson). However, he’s never spent a moment outside the windowless, 11-by-11 enclosure where they live. As he begins to ask more questions─and the horrifying truth of their circumstances becomes apparent─mother and son face a harrowing bid for escape and an even more challenging acclimation to the world. Lenny Abrahamson’s remarkable drama also stars Joan Allen, William H. Macy, Sean Bridgers; Emma Donoghue adapted her novel for the screen. 118 min.
