In my opinion, Larson’s performance in Room (2015) greatly outshines her performance as Captain Marvel. If you’re not impressed by Larson’s acting, you’re entitled to that opinion. However, if you haven’t seen Room, I recommend viewing it before evaluating her skill. It’s the emotion conveyed in her eyes. She embodies a realistic, traumatized gaze I have seen in people with PTSD. As someone who makes art myself, it appears Larson was emotionally invested in the plot of the film itself, which only magnified the quality of her work.
