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.
