Review of A Monster Calls (2016) by Moviemitch96 — 08 Jan 2017

First thing's first, this isn't quite the family-geared film the trailers and tv spots would lead you to believe. That being said, if you think that you're prepared to bring any of your children to this film, be prepared for some almost inevitable tearjerking to occur, because this film is as emotional and heavy as they come.

Nonetheless, it's also such and extraordinary, beautifully-made film that will tug at the hearts of many as it certainly did mine and my family's. The cast does an exceptional job as well with Lewis MacDougall in the lead giving what I'd consider to be the best child performance of 2016.

Felicity Jones, Sigourney Weaver, and of course Liam Neeson as the monster round out the excellent supporting cast.
