Room

Plot hole: Ma rolling Jack in the rug (to pretend he was dead and then could escape from the truck when being taken away) would have suffocated him. She even put his hands over his mouth before rolling him up in the rug. (00:42:10 - 00:43:15)

Mistakes

Other mistake: Ma and Jack bake a cake, but there is no way of doing this as they have no oven - only a work top hob and a grill.

Quotes

Jack: There's so much of "place" in the world. There's less time because the time has to be spread extra thin over all the places, like butter. So all the persons say "Hurry up! Let's get going! Pick up the pace! Finish up now." Ma was in a hurry to go "boing" up to Heaven, but she forgot me. Dumbo Ma! So the aliens threw her back down. Crash! And broke her.

Questions

Question: Why did Joy's father not want to talk to Jack, and why could he not even look at Jack when Joy asked him?

Answer: It's not explained. For whatever reason, he apparently is unable accept that his grandson is the illegitimate product of rape. He may consider his daughter to now be sullied from the experience, and possibly blames her in some way, even though she was a victim. It is also possible he may believe that he somehow failed to protect her.
