Mini Review - Where The Wild Things Are
Where The Wild Things Are (out Dec 3) is about a young boy named Max who runs away from home and finds himself in a fantasy world filled with emotional monsters. Max is anointed their king but it turns out being a leader isn't as easy as he thought. Director Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich) describes it not as a kid's film but rather a "movie about childhood". An apt description and we can all relate. Grade: A-.
