Review of Where the Wild Things Are (2009) by Jeffrey G — 13 Aug 2012
A beautiful, visionary, powerful film.
It's really difficult to "rate" this in any conventional sense. I honestly believe that anyone below a certain age certainly won't fully understand its power and beauty. This is a film that made me feel the wonderment of being a child along with the responsibility and "duty" of being an adult--it's almost as if Jonze allows us--as ADULTS--to reconnect with the feelings of our childhood and yet temper that with the rationality and responsibility of being a "grown up".
This is a fabulous film that, for me, rates with the year's best. Having said that, I think it'll be a deeply personal experience for everyone who sees it--whether they realize it or not.
Wonderful. And I want the soundtrack--right now.
