This movie is heart-wrenching and heart-warming at the same time and what makes it even more powerful are the bang on performances by Jacob Tremblay and Brie Larson. An Academy Award does not do justice to this masterpiece. Every feeling and emotion was perfectly conveyed, from the need to escape, to the helplessness of the mother after being rescued and their adjustment issues. The fact that a person can suffer so much even after the trauma is over has been conveyed beautifully. The way the mother has learnt to live her life within the four walls and still keep herself and her child healthy is amazing. Tremblay conveys all the feelings of a child who has seen the outside world for the first time perfectly. His innocence is so pure. This movie is love.

This movie is absolutely amazing. The way Will smith can pack so many feels in just one look is amazing. The performance of each actor was outstanding. The movie as a whole touches the heart and soul. I wish I had a gadget to erase my memory (like Men in Black :P) because all I want to do is re-watch this movie for the first time all over again and experience the magic. The ending leaves you misty eyed and hopeful. If you haven't watched this movie, then drop everything because you just can't miss this one.
