One of the best films of the last few years is getting its TV premiere tonight

If you haven’t seen it yet, then you’ve no longer got any excuse.

Nominated for four Oscars – including Best Picture, Best Director for Lenny Abrahamson, and Best Adapted Screenplay for Emma Donoghue who worked from her own novel – and winning Brie Larson the award for Best Actress, everyone who has ever seen Room has been effected by it in one way or another.

Telling the story of a young boy (an amazing performance by newcomer Jacob Tremblay) and his mother (Larson) as they live their day-to-day lives as the captives of a dangerous man, Room gets its TV premiere on Channel 4 tonight at 9pm, and we can’t recommend it enough.
