A Monster Calls | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

The effects here don't take you out of the story, they make you even more invested.

A heartbreaking tale with a nightmarish climax that will be too intense for kids who may get wrapped up in the story. For everyone else it's a fractured fairy tale with real insight and pathos.

A Monster Calls is a unique film, in the sense that it is honest about life and the unfair difficulties that you go through as a child.

A Monster Calls may seem like a simple fantasy film, but it goes beyond that to tackle a very real tragedy - losing someone. Word of advice: bring a lot of tissues to this one.

Though the film tackles weighty subjects concerning mortality, grief, broken homes, and misplaced anger, its plot isn't particularly unique.
