Imagine experiencing the world for the first time at 5 years old when you've never even seen yourself in a mirror. The stellar new movie "Room," based on Emma Donoghue's acclaimed novel, explores exactly that. Brie Larson plays a young mother who manages to escape from the garden shed where she has been held captive for seven years. While confined, she gave birth to Jack (Jacob Tremblay), who can now explore the joys and mysteries of a universe he didn't think existed. In this clip from the movie -- exclusive to The Huffington Post and its parent company, AOL -- the newly freed mother and son explore the hospital room where they rest on their first night outside of the insular home they called Room.
Directed by Lenny Abrahamson, "Room" is now open in limited release. It expands to additional theaters throughout November.
