As 2025 comes to a close, it's worth remembering the many modern classics that officially celebrated their tenth anniversaries this year, from Matt Damon and Ridley Scott's incredible sci-fi flick The Martian and Pixar's decade-defining Inside Out to Robert Eggers' horror masterpiece The Witch and one of the greatest action movies of all time in George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road. Among these celebrating titles is the quiet, modern gem Room, one of the defining movies in the rise of A24, and you can stream it for free right now.
However, with 2026 now just around the corner, you don't have long left to catch this masterful drama inspired by real life, as it is expected to leave Pluto TV next month. So, with that in mind, you'll want to make sure you catch Room for free now on the streamer, where it joins a long line-up of other critically acclaimed titles and Oscar-winners. Room itself won one of its four Academy Award nominations, with MCU alum Brie Larson picking up the Best Actress trophy for her portrayal of Joy "Ma" Newsome. Sporting a hugely impressive 93% score from both critics and audiences on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the consensus on the site reads, "Led by incredible work from Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay, Room makes for an unforgettably harrowing -- and undeniably rewarding -- experience." A logline for the movie reads:
"Held captive for years in an enclosed space, a woman and her young son finally gain their freedom, allowing the boy to experience the outside world for the first time."
'Room' Was a Huge Hit for the Burgeoning A24
Now known as an established production company behind some of the biggest hits of the decade, including Everything Everywhere All at Once and Civil War, A24 was still relatively new to the game ten years ago when Room was released, with the drama shooting straight to the top of their all-time box office charts alongside fellow 2015 debutant, Ex-Machina. Made for a reported $13 million, Room earned a global haul of $36 million during its theatrical run, split between $14.6 million in domestic revenue and a further $21.6 million from overseas markets. Today, the film is A24's 21st highest-grossing ever, with the company's continued rise sure to push Room's position back even further.
