The rating is unbelievable. 8.2 ?? Okk.
The plot is about a mother and a son trapped in a single room without much connetion with outside world. Their kidnapper is a man who kidnapped the mother and forcefully impregnates her. The child is born and raised in that room only. After a brief period of interaction with all three characters the child escapes and so the mother. Then comes the societal attitudes towards them, esp their parents. They won't accept the child because he was born out of rape and so on so forth. Lastly they accept them and credits rolls.
Honestly speaking this movie is not a type of those flicks that should be in 8.2 category. It doesn't have the character study, lacks the indepth depiction of such a strange but true incidents. The acting is plain and raw, lacks the emotional appeal. The horrific tale of confining to one room for so many years didn't seem big in the movie itself, it felt like normal, shown normally without much intense shots or statements or subplots. In a word the disappointment is about the execution. While the plot seems good one, listening to it simply, will arouse your interest. But the experience of the film will make you dull and loosen your attention. A potential plot not done well, is all about its review. For the story its a 1/10. On a scale of 100 it would be 13.
