During that month, forgotten memories of the past arose. I remembered the days when my mother divorced my father and then my sister and I moved to an apartment no bigger than the room in the movie Room."

Room's Ma character reminds Larson of her difficult childhood: "Back then, I only had two pairs of jeans and a few shirts, one pair of shoes. Every night, we ate Top Ramen. But my mother was very creative. She breathed life into the living space and made my sisters and I feel like we had everything."

For the first five weeks of filming, the film was shot in a room measuring just over 3 square metres in Toronto. "It was exhausting for the crew because it was so cramped. You could feel the momentum in the room. People would go in and want to get out. The feeling of being trapped in that room was very real."From the time the film was shot until the part where Ma returned home and reunited with her mother, I became so weak and fragile that I almost lost connection with everyone. I felt like I was unable to communicate with others," Larson said.

Her role in "Room" brought Brie Larson her first Golden Globe and Oscar nomination.

To prepare for her role in the film, the beauty born in 1989 met with many experts specializing in treating people with psychological trauma after being sexually abused.She then met with nutritionists to discuss the diet and deprivation of a person locked up for seven years.

"When filming, I tried to portray a woman who lacked vitamin D, who didn't brush her teeth or wash her face properly. Gradually, I got into the character's point of view to act realistically. This is a story about motherhood rather than violence."Larson met child actor Jacob Tremblay by creating various toy props with him. They worked together for the first five weeks and quickly became close friends.
