Where the Wild Things Are
Dir. Spike Jonze
Magnificent. This film is childhood. Beautiful, terrifying, confusing, irrational and wild. There is so much I want to say, but the film left me in such a strange place. Instead of shouting from the hills and using fifty cent words to describe it, I just wanted to set. Be still. I wanted to reflect on what is surely the best movie I've seen this year, and what is the boldest movie I've seen in a while.
What I will say is this. I have yet to find anything I didn't like about the film. I can't call it perfect, but I can't find fault either. The music/score is really magical and fits the action and emotion like a glove or maybe a well fitted bra, as it supports and lifts as well. And the photography? Lance Accord better get nominated, he's my current front runner.
Grade A
As a side note, I did set for a while. I sat and thought on it for over 2 hours. Lots of reflection time needed for it but I do love it.
