Reviews

"Sensitive -melancholic children's film, which dips reacted with expressive pictures Maurice Sendak's classic picture book (1963 ) and relaxed - open in downsides childhood experience. "

Existing " From this simple only from " And then ... " progressions narrative not only Max's larger than life reflects fear before, even losing all the people who mean something to him. Brings you the essence, the post-industrial world and its labor and capital ratios to the point. "

" The film adaptation of the classic picture book by Maurice Sendak is a monster fun for kids. The surreal images and the melancholy undertones affect mainly adults. "

" What the film lacks is a big story, a classic drama. In fact, little happened and what happened more typical childlike, impulsive. The film actually lives more about the mood and the characters than about the sparse action that does not require classic quests and other thrill moments. It is rather the psychological grief therapy group trying to come to terms with each other. Clear blame missing just as clear messages. "

"Who is ultimately " Where the Wild Things Are " looks to be seen. As Spike Jonze but a children's book for the big screen adapted without diluting their own style or to make concessions to the genre that is worth seeing in any case. "
