I'm still sobbing as I write this. The film is very good but it is quite traumatic. It is a subtle meditation on grief (as symbolised by the monster) and will ring true to a lot of peoples experiences. Billed as a family film, though I fear young ones will be too scared by the monster and too upset by the subject matter. Brilliant performance from the young lead and a great script that isn't as heavy handed as it could have been.

Dizzyingly perfect. Don't read anything about it, just go and see.

Make sure you bring plenty of tissues.

A Monster Calls is a movie that will take you on a roller-coaster of emotions. One of the best movies of 2016. Simply mind blowing !

Here is my quick review:
[Like]
+ Stunning performances by all actors
+ Out of this world art and cinematography
+ Lots of drama and moral discussion
+ Captivating and deeply moving plot with a perfect flow
+ The movie leaves a long lasting impression.
[Dislike]
- Sorry but I couldn't find any

Plot Complexity:
Medium

Best Movie Quote:
Because humans are complicated beasts. You believe comforting lies, while knowing full well the painful truth that makes those lies necessary. In the end, Conor, it is not important what you think. It is only important what you do.

Apart from the last 15 minutes and the climax i believe the film delivered flat and cheap drama. The story was mediocre and the whole movie didn't pass above average

Decent coming-of-age fantasy fable, with the fairly interesting gimmick of using this imaginary monster to deal with grief. Ultimately I didn't care though and I think a lot of it has to do with the little sh!t, unlikable lead....

As I was watching I wondered why they made Liam Neeson recognizable on the family photos if he wasn't anywhere in the movie, but it turns out he voiced The Monster. I just noticed it, I didn't recognize his voice. Nice.

This is definitely NOT a children's film, despite the fantasy style picture and blurb.

I am glad I watched this alone as my son would not have understood the deepness and heart in this movie.

A Monster Calls is a hidden gem, one that I've passed over many times and wish I'd watched much sooner!

The monster of our fears; fear of saying the truth, fear of sharing our deepest feelings.
Love can change the life.
Your believes are valuables.

I literally knew nothing about this film. What a lovely little movie. Be prepared to cry. It’s sad but heartwarming at the same time. The visual affects were well done and the acting was seamless. Definitely worth watching.

Holy smokes! Someone was chopping onions during the movie, especially towards the end..

Anyways, amazing movie. It hit me in the right spots; probably due to the fact that I can relate to the boy's personality. Powerful, deep, and heartfelt. This movie will stay with me for quite some time.

I was a grown man when I lost my mother to cancer yet this took a firm grip on my heart.
I can't remember the last time I cried this much at all, let alone watching a movie.
And those weren't manly tears, I mean old guy full on blubbering mess kind of crying.
This is one of those rare films I probably will never bring myself to watch again yet I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone.
