Spoiler-free premise
Five-year-old Jack knows only the locked room where his kidnapped mother Joy has raised him and plans their escape.
Why it belongs
Lenny Abrahamson makes confinement and freedom equally disorienting through Jack's perspective, Larson's protective Joy, and attention to recovery beyond escape.
