As a striking example of honing tone and originality, Spike Jonze's interpretation of a childhood longing for pride and status sits high on the list of experimental children's fables. The film is a melancholic, but all-the-while levitating, ponderance of escapism and the need for...( read more)

After the wonderfully odd and gorgeous trailer I am a little disappointed in the film itself. The look and visual design is really pretty and unique, young Max Records a very talented discovery for the main role. The ending was really sweet and touching, but the middle part had m...( read more)

Where The Wild Things Are
Expected: 11 December
It?s been a loooong time coming, but Spike Jonze seems to think he?s finally cracked his adaptation of Maurice Sendak?s beloved kid book. A boy named Max enters a world of monsters who end up crowning him their king. It?s probably n...( read more) -

This is no kid's film. This is a mature and thoughtful look at the psychology of a child, and also how we come to understand the world and complex emotions around us. Max is a very angry child, he interprets the acts of others as personal attacks on himself. This leads to those h...( read more)

I did not read the book but watched the movie anyway. I did not care for the movie. to me this was a movie to try to undestand very young kids who act out. I didn't like it. I have seen kids movies. I still watch kids movies. This was the worst kids movie for me that I have seen ...( read more)

Yeah once we were a child! Great soundtracks! The child actor is very cute! I did not read the book but i like the scenario. You know It's fantastic. I don't care if it's a good adaptation of the book or not...A movie makes a cardiac massage to the child inside you. Still not too...( read more)
Critic Reviews
Spike Jonze is an original cinematic voice but in the end you just wish he left this on the bookshelf where it belongs. full review
The result is a picture of considerable vision (this is a Spike Jonze film), but one that feels still-born. It traipses from one set-piece incident to the next without gathering much imaginative power... full review
Jonze's ideas, visual and otherwise, spill out in a faux-philosophical ramble that isn't nearly as deep as he thinks it is; at best, it's a scrambled tone poem. Even the look of the picture becomes ti... full review
Where the Wild Things Are is a fiercely innovative film with surprising texture and nuance. It captures the joy and exuberance of childhood without shying away from its very real pains and woes. full review
For all the money spent, the film's success is best measured by its simplicity and the purity of its innovation. Jonze has filmed a fantasy as if it were absolutely real, allowing us to see the world ... full review
In an era glutted with sanitized, prefabricated, computer-generated kids' stuff, this is an experience of sophisticated cross-generational appeal. It digs deep into childhood's bright, manic exuberanc... full review
Some children, I think, will love this film, some will find it frightening, and some will be bored. Adults, likely, will experience it the same way. full review
The plot is simple stuff, spread fairly thin in terms of events but portentous in terms of meaning. It comes down to: What is right? -- a question that children often seek answers to. full review
A mature, striking exploration of the way that kids feel. full review
The most daring kid's-movie adaptation since Altman's still-avant-garde Popeye from 1980. full review
These monsters that are made of costumes with CGI faces and voiced by these wonderful actors, they're just as real and as complicated as the real people. full review
Instead of being bombarded by computer illusions, we're allowed to suspend our disbelief, to bring our own imaginations into play. For all the artfulness, the feel of the film is rough-hewn, almost pr... full review
