Movie Review: A MONSTER CALLS (Review #3)

A Monster Calls is the third film by Spanish director J.A. Bayona. The film follows the story of a young boy dealing with his mother being very ill and being bullied at school as he is visited in his dreams by a monster set on teaching him some kind of life lesson. The film stars Lewis MacDougall, Felicity Jones, Sigourney Weaver, Toby Kebbell, and Liam Neeson as the Monster. I was floored by this movie as it was a wonderful combination of stunningly beautiful and emotionally resonant. One of the best films of the year.

Movie Review: A MONSTER CALLS (Review #2)

A Monster Calls follows a young boy named Conor (Lewis MacDougall), whose mother (Felicity Jones) is ill from cancer, and gravely so -- she is terminal. Having difficulty dealing with this horrible situation, Conor is visited by a tree monster (voiced by Liam Neeson) at 12:07. On one occasion the monster comes and tells him he is going to narrate him three stories and once he is done Conor will have to tell a fourth one and said story will have to be 'the truth'.

This week I have the pleasure of attending the London Film Festival, and the first film I had the pleasure of seeing, was J.A. Bayona's film, A Monster Calls! It is a beautiful, emotional film that resonated with me, maybe more than any film I have seen this year!
