We saw Where the Wild Things Are on Fri night. It was not too scary at all, at least, not for my kids. It was scary at times, but in an ‘exciting movie’ kind of way. And, it was achingly emotional at times, for both the kids and for me, but the emotions were all part of the plot of the movie & it flowed into them and out of them.
I’d like to see it again, without my high expectations for an emotional epic. I think that it would have been better going into it expecting what I had been expecting, before the week of reading reviews & being told that crybaby kids & parents might not be able to deal with the movie. Before that, I was expecting a sweet, exciting journey into the imagination of a very real child. And, I think that’s what the movie brought - quite nicely, actually.
