The Letter Room

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.

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.

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 is a nice little short about a corrections officer who gets transferred to the prison's prisoner communications department, and how he slowly finds himself involved in the prisoners' private conversations.

The movie felt a little too long, even for a 33-minute short film, but it doesn't mean there is nothing to enjoy here. It's a very easy going film, that doesn't expect too much of the audience, and as such, rewards you with a caring story of humanness in an unlikely place.

Check it out if you can!

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.
