Some people say that Tremblay acted circles around his co-star Brie Larson, the difference is that while the former got snubbed by the Oscars, the latter is winning the prize. Different category, I know I know, but still, isn’t it a bit unfair that we celebrate only Larson…?
So let’s decide is. Who gave a better performance in “Room”. Brie or Jacob?
ReplyWhy? There are so many cute six year olds outs there. Ehehehe I’m kind of a snob on this subject. To make me vote for a child at the age of a kindergarten over a professional actor, the performance has to be out of the world good. And this just wasn’t that for me. And, of course everything looks pitch perfect after endless repeats and final cuts, but as an actor working opposite a little kid in more than half of the movie; Larson’s work was much harder than one might think. Can you imagine how many times they had to stop shooting to help Tremblay memorize his lines?
But if we’re gonna judge which one of these father’s is the hottest, Tremblay’s wins by a mile of course! Yum.
ReplyCopy URLBut all actors get recut, so that is not an advantage that child actors have over more experienced actors. If Larson had extra time and takes to perfect her performance as she allegedly waited for Tremblay to learn his lines, you would think that she would have been able to impress us more.
ReplyCopy URLOr maybe she was distracted and got cut so many times, that affected her performance in a negative way after some point. When all the attention in the set was on a little kid, the director might have had left Larson on her own more than he’d planned. And even she might have started to focus on his reactions more than her own to keep the whole thing going forward.

Honestly, with all objectivity, at the age of 9, it’s a bit harder to play a role you don’t understand. Jacob had to show us exactly what his character was feeling. Without him knowing anything about the situation or understand things like “rape” “kidnap” “nervous breakdown” and so on. Brie is an adult. I’m not saying her job was easy, because that would be a bullshit, but at least she’s aware of the cruel world and had hard roles before, so she can relate to certain issues. I think Jacob is such a sweet naiv little guy, so playing this deep and complex character is something you don’t see very often on the screen.
