Didn't condescend
PostedNovember 8, 2009

I liked the movie because, for once, Hollywood acknowledged a child's alienation and anger, and that it didn't condescend to its audience by serving up some superficial, syrupy formulaic happy ending. I liked how the monsters reflected some part of Max -- Carol needing assurance and parental love, for example -- and how his interaction with the monsters matured him, made him appreciate how tough it can be to be a parent. We need more movies like this -- not the soulless, animated, plotless Disneyfied slop that doesn't explore the human condition and seeks less of the truth.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
