A Monster Calls

"This is such an emotionally compelling movie, with an outstanding child actor. He portrayed heartache, pain, and the journey to healing so well. Liam Neesons' voice as the child's storyteller is perfect. This was a great mix of fantasy, storytelling, and realism. "

"A great adaptation of the baboon of the same name, as a boy who is going through a personal crisis is visited one night by a monster who tells him three stories to help him!"

"Woah. Get the tissues out. "

"lived up to the book :)"

"I watched 2016 A Monster Calls, starring Felicity Jones, Lewis MacDougall, Liam Neeson, and Sigourney Weaver. Based on the book of the same title by Patrick Ness, the film grips you by the heartstrings and doesn't let go. I had meant to watch the movie since award season in 2017 but never found the chance. Let me say that if you are in the process of grief or struggling with losing someone, please give this film a watch. Have some tissues on hand and have a good cry."

"Absolutely perfect in every way. But… I need a pint of ice cream, stat. The sobs were out of control. "

"A gripping emotional tale"

"I inadvertently stumbled across this film because of the soundtrack, actually. The trailer seemed promising and the movie did not disappoint. It’s a creative storyline with captivating mystery and a great final message. The animation is also well done. "

"Surprisingly good!"

"Makes you think more about your life. #thought_provoking #fantasy "
