a fairy tale, not for kids
29 December 2016
Warning: Spoilers
this film is rated pg-13. no child under 13 without a parent or guardian. I saw many young girls in the audience and from my point of view this film is inappropriate for young people. it's a disturbing story about dying, bullying and real life. a young boy has violent and disturbing nightmares and no one is there to console him. a monster arrives to teach him about life. a lesson you don't need to know until you are a lot older than 13. the monster teaches the boy by telling him fables, where bad people do bad things and get away it. just like real life. by no means is this a holiday feel good time movie. that said, lewis macdougal is excellent as the young boy and the monster is really good. liam neesan does a great job. you know your child. maybe he or she is tougher than I know.
