I liked that the Max can’t sort out the issues of the Wild Things. For me that was a very important part of the story because Max realises out he can’t figure out these emotions (The Wild Things) on his own, he needs the support of his family and in particular his Mother. If he had solved all of their issues, went back home and said sorry to his Mum it wouldn’t have felt genuine because a 9 year old wouldn’t figure that out by themselves.

Spot on review. The best thing about this film was that it was so fully realised that the whole effect of the film on the viewer is greater than any one part. It seemed like nothing special story-wise, but you’re left with a heavy, longing heart and like you’ve just reached out and held the hand of your nine-year-old self and told them that everything will be okay – but then you get sucked back through the time portal as the credits roll and back to adult responsibility.

That was an amazing review! I can’t wait to see it and then maybe argue with you, or passively agree because it was such a good article!
