Spike Jonse has said that he did not make a children’s movie, he made a movie about childhood. It is a poignant and honest portrayal of a childhood like most, not perfect. Max is a wild thing himself and you find pieces of him in all the others. It reminded me of times when I felt out of control, helpless and unheard. Even today don’t you sometimes want to scream or hit someone? I remember throwing a tantrum as a child because my grandmother made pancakes. I took a 6 and 12 year old with me. The 6 year old did get a little frightened when the Wild Things first make their appearance, but she climbed up on my lap and was happily focused for the entire movie. The 12 year old didn’t seem bored and we discussed the movie the whole way home.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
