Where The Wild Things Are (2009)

What a truly wonderful and inspiring movie! For one who has never even heard of the book, it was impossible not to be moved by this imaginative and warm story about family and loneliness. And it's made in such an playful way, it takes you right back to childhood!

Max is maybe 8, and struggles to accept that his mother and older sister don't have time to play with him anymore. He reacts with hurt and anger, and runs away from home in a rage. On a journey through his imagination, Max meets wild creatures struggling with sorrow and loneliness, and through trying to help them deal with their problems, he begins to understand his own feelings towards his family.

Everything about the movie is beautiful. It is innocent, simple and slow, just like a childs mind, and the images are great. From the impressive acting skills of young Max Records and brilliant voice of James Gandolfini, to the Arcade Fire soundtrack, this is a complete movie experience. Go ahead and find the kid in you!

Inside all of us there is HOPE.
Inside all of us there is FEAR.
Inside all of us there is ADVENTURE.
Inside all of us there is...
A WILD THING.
