Great film-making and true to the book

This adaptation underscored Sendak's picture book themes and characters. It was fantastic to see them come to life. Max Records was terrific as main character Max. My 5-year-old didn't particularly enjoy it, but he GOT it on a level that made him a little uncomfortable. "There was a part that made me want to cry but I didn't," he said. The movie provoked an interesting ride-home discussion on feelings and misbehaving. It one of those movies that I like more and more as I think about it and discuss it. Plus it made me cry.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
