The Letter Room

A beautiful short based on the life of a lonesome, corrections officer whose duty is to scan through letters written to inmates from their loved ones. The background music in very different and interesting. The short maintains a comedic tone underlying, which makes it quite likeable. It's shot so beautifully. And Oscar Issac is like always, a treat to watch on screen.

How beautiful, pity it's a short, beautiful films shouldn't be limited to short films, but should translate into long and beautiful hours of film ... #Icried So cute and sensitive, the relationship between the protagonist and the prisoner father, deserved it a film just for them...

Certainly worth watching. It's another example which points out you never what another person is going through. Makes you want to believe that people are good. Watch it - you will enjoy it.

Oscar Isaac truly carries the soul of this film. Thought provoking through the whole run, it compels you to look further into the mind of the protagonist. The character arc that the script set out is masterfully executed, and it's a joy to watch. The direction is another highlight of this piece. Subtle, but with clear intentionality. One truly feels like they're being asked to reflect, nothing is spoon-fed.

A touching film about duty, empathy, loneliness and good gestures. And beautiful work of Oscar Isaac in a role demanding real skils to explore a minimalistic story about letters, death, old men expecting news, a presumed suicide situation and the state of a death condamned man.

Each detail sounds just inspired.

The message is not only generous, old fashion one , well crafted but profound useful, being, in essence, precious warning, seeming a parable about options and job, generosity and courage to become useful to the other as giver of unique help.
