Riverting and hard to watch violence

The director stuck close to the book with only a few changes. Lizbeth is fantastic. How did they find an actress to play this tough part so well?
Acting and cinematography spot on.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Strong acting, flat script

Though the three leads were strong, I found myself bored by the middle and I knew what the ending would be. The movie had the chance to be fabulous, but the script did not take the conversations into that wow zone.
I would rent this one and see it at home. No special effects that need a big screen.

Extraordinary and Sophisticated

Don't look for simple plot and Disney colors in this film. You have to understand nuance and internal narrative beauty. The young boy is superb. He carries the film with his face and vocal quality. The expressions of the Wild Things are so subtle that a viewer can cry over the beasts' personal dramas. And the soundtrack is more interesting than any I have heard in years. Finally someone has broken the pattern of boring American films this decade. Yeah Spike Jonze. Hope this film wins a dozen Oscars.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
