The Letter Room

The Letter Room is such an incredible film about a corrections officer who finds himself getting transferred to the prison letter room and getting a little too involved with a prisoner's love letters.

This is such a beautiful short film about loniness, empathy, showing kindness to those that most would call unlovable. It's a film about giving, without the expectation of getting back.

It's not laugh out loud funny, but there are moments that will make you chuckle.

It has plenty of moments of heartbreak and moments that are heart breaking.

Oscar Isaac once again takes a character and brings him to life in a way that will make you fall in love with him. He will break your heart over and over again. When does he not?

See this movie. It's dang near life changing. Itll make you think about things and ask questions that you might not have asked yourself before

The Letter Room, Oscar nominee for best live-action short film, is so beautiful and deep with some dark comedy. The plot is interesting and provoking in a way that makes you don't want the film to end. Oscar Isaac is brilliant. The original score is amazing.

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 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.
