A Monster Calls

...the giant tree monster—in many scenes an actual animatronic creation, in the “Kong” tradition—is a formidable, fantastic effect, and the design and animation of his tales is first-rate...

This is an affecting movie with a lump-in-the-throat ending...

This is not just a film about grief; it’s a film that immerses you in grief’s journey.

...if you let the film in, it’s unlikely to let you leave the cinema with dry eyes.

Conors (Lewis MacDougall är fantastiskt fin i rollen) tappra kamp mot klockan och mot döden trycker på alla känsloknappar...

...[handler] først og fremmest om Conor, dette stærke og samtidig sårbare lille menneske, som må tage fantasien i brug for at kapere virkelighedens traumer.
