Where the Wild Things Are

"Jonze has been able to make a movie where any reader of the book should be able to recognize all of the Things in sight. (...) The movie felt long to me (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)." 

"Where the Wild Things Are is an alternately perfect and imperfect if always beautiful adaptation of the Maurice Sendak children’s book." 

"A precious, self-indulgent cinematic fable that not everyone is going to love. (...) The problem with this cast of characters is not so much their personalities but the way screenwriters Jonze and Eggers have turned them into neurotic adults with dysfunctional relationships." 

"For all the money spent, the film's success is best measured by its simplicity and the purity of its innovation. Jonze has filmed a fantasy as if it were absolutely real, allowing us to see the world as Max sees it, full of beauty and terror. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)
