"(A) Spare Room" tells the story of Lillian a young widow of a soldier how has recently died on a mission in Afghanistan, struggling with everyday expenses and with difficult family situation. She meets another veteran, David, and her life will never be the same again.
This is actually a powerful movie and I like the fact that at first you don't have any expectation about it, but then you really start to feel the story and appreciate it.
It deals with a tough topic and delicate matters, but has also a sweeter romantic side and ends in an unforeseeable way that gives it even more beauty. It's a tale of love, loss, honor, bravery and finding the courage to repair the damages done in the past.
The cast is really good, Skyler Samuels stands out and it's amazing to see how she portrays Lillian's deep relationship with her brother Arrow and how she navigates the turbulent waters of her "romantic life", finally understanding where real love could lie.
So I appreciated a lot this movie and it really deserves more recognition.

The movie isn't too long so it does feel as if things happen in such a short span but it's still got pretty good scene frames. Bittersweet and funny. Loved the music.
While the story is slightly predictable, there is depth to the emotions of the acting in the film that rings true for anyone who has experienced trauma or grief. Definitely worth the watch if you like dramas
A sweet emotional movie about a Veteran who struggles post war with his time serving this country and the young widow of another veteran who died in the same war. Good acting and a touching story.
