For seven years, Ma, a young mother (Brie Larson, in a harrowingly powerful performance) has been trapped, with her five-year-old child (Jacob Tremblay), in a one-room shed. Director Lenny Abrahamson (Frank, Adam and Paul) and Emma Donoghue, adapting her best-selling novel, are astonishingly sensitive to the poetic, comic and hallucinatory resonances in the child’s view of this bizarre life experience, particularly the concept that one small, dark room is the whole universe. Though the film uses the blueprint of a thriller, it explores much richer and surprising terrain, including the mother’s desperate effort to free her child and return them to real life. Abrahamson and Donoghue make Room a shockingly effective parable about how we face the crisis of learning about the world. Larson and Tremblay will be heard from come award season. And Variety‘s Justin Chang opines this might just be “the call-your-mom-sobbing-afterward movie of 2015.”

Beer is great, and events that celebrate the greatness of beer are even greater. This weekend, Grovetoberfest returns with its craft-beer-tasting spectacular. The annual event claims to have been at the forefront of the craft beer craze and promises to deliver a “craft beer experience that marries the love of craft beer to an incredible social atmos-phere.” Despite the recent backlash over the event organizers’ “Dark Beers Matter” marketing stunt, the main event is still happening. Beer will flow freely at Peacock Park (2820 McFarlane Rd., Coconut Grove) this Saturday till 7 p.m. Three ticket types are available: general admission ($40), which includes entrance at 4 p.m.; Beer Socialite ($70), which gets you in at 3 p.m.; and VIP ($90), which not only gets you in at 2:30 p.m. but also grants access to a VIP lounge and air-conditioned bathrooms. Call 305-461-2700 or visit grovetoberfest.com.

Times

Internationally acclaimed director Jafar Panahi (The White Balloon) drives a yellow cab through the vibrant streets of Tehran, picking up a diverse (and yet representative) group of passengers in a single day. Each man, woman, and child candidly expresses his or her own view of the world while being candidly interviewed by the curious and gracious driver/director. His camera, placed on the dashboard of his mobile film studio, captures a spirited slice of Iranian society while also brilliantly redefining the borders of comedy, drama and cinema. “Can a filmmaker under house arrest make any more defiant a gesture than by directing a bonafide road movie?” asks Scott Foundas in Variety. “Such is the question implicitly posed by Taxi, the third surreptitious film à clef directed by Panahi since his 2010 conviction on charges of conspiring to create anti-Islamic propaganda. The result is a film of quiet but proud outrage, laughing on the surface, but howling in anger just beneath.” Taxi won the Golden Bear for Best Film at the 2015 Berlin Film Festival.
