I was blown away, much better than I expected. An intelligent story about basic human relationships and how they work. In this sense it's not necessarily a children's movie. In my opinion it's a movie not only about kids but about all of us. It's loud and wild, yet also quiet and wonderfully observed if you care to look beyond it's surface. Jonze's quirkiness kept me smiling throughout, for the story and the visuals are not only clever but also refreshing and strangely funny. Performances are superb – including and especially Max's. The delicate interaction between high and low tech is astounding. Camera shakes at the right moments and keeps steady when it should be. Beautifully shot this was all in all a wonderful experience.
