I do not know the novel of Patrick Ness. So, to define it as a good or bad adaptation is impossible. I know only than it is a simple amazing film. For so many reasons.
So, more than a good film with spectacular special effects. A film about ...true truth.
- I know, very well, the taste of angry. The film gives its nuances in almost cruel manner;
- I know the profound fear of loss. The film gives the fair nuances of it.
- Lewis McDougall is great as Connor. And , just great.
- It is a nice gift to discover the work of Sigourney Weaver and Felicity Jones. Or the short appearence of lovely Geraldine Chaplin.
- It is a film to remind and to feel it . A sort of confirmation of truths deep inside you.
- At the end, you know- it is a film about yourself . The connection with th family members, the selfishness, the so useful imaginary friend, the stories passing generation by generation.
So, more than a good film with spectacular special effects. A film about ...true truth.
