The monster does not come walking often. This time it comes to Connor,
and it asks for the one thing Connor cannot bring himself to do. Tell
the truth. This is a very touching story about a boy who feels very
damaged, guilty and mostly angry. He struggles at school with bullies,
and pity looks from everyone, and at home with his mother's sickness.
Will Connor overcome his problems? Will everything be okay? Will Connor
be able to speak the truth?
Let's start this time with the Director who is Patrick Ness in the first line, besides Bayona. He is the author of this book A Monster Calls, and he was asked by the publisher to write, rather to continue the script of the book A Monster Calls. The script actually comes from a girl, a young girl, who died because she had cancer. If you know this, the movie has a much more deeper meaning, and I feel again so sorry for all those people who have die so early, because they are sick, and they have no chance to see what life is really about. It remembers me of my uncle who died because of cancer.
A Monster Calls is about the life, about love, loneliness, sickness, heart beats, and heart pains, and most of all about chances for everyone.
Let's switch over to the CAST. Lewis MacDougall plays Connor in an absolutely incredible way, he is super duper awesome. To deal with the loneliness, to deal with the pains, combined with the force of the duty to deal with that is insane and extremely awesome. He has to carry the story and he does in an easy way, he is so good in his performance, he is also contacting those kids, who are maybe around 12 to 16 years. Meanwhile Felicity Jones is the contact person for the older people. She is the mother of Connor, who is really sick, and who has to deal the pain every day, but also someone who loves her sun in a way, that it made me cry. Thos combination betweent mother and sun is awesome here during the performance and storytelling. In addition we have Sigourney Weaver, the grand mother, she is hard and she knows what life is about. No fruther details here, because this would ruin the suprise about her character.
The CAMERA has a lot of dark and cold pictures. The look is simply like this in this movie. Also the emotions are captured in a way which is just incredible.
Also the EFFECTS are so so powerful and awesome. As well as the monster, and when the earth breaks up and city and things come out of the earth is mind blowing that you have the feeling we are watching 3 billion USD budget movie.
The SETTINGS are the home of Connor and his mum, his school, a graveyard which has a very special meaning, and the story settings for each of the 3 stories.
The MUSIC is okay, it transports the action and the storytelling.
It is nearly impossible to find something what I did not like about the movie. Maybe it is a bit to hard sometimes. I mean sometimes a bit too much hopeless. Don't forget that the message of the movie is like this: you go out of the cinemas and you really have something to think about, combined with the look and all the other points mentioned in the review I conclued that there is nothing bad about it anymore.
This movie is perfect. The movie reflects reality, and shows us what is important in life: love, people who we love, pain, care, and being alone sometimes. It makes us feel what life is about, it shows what we might have forgotten already.
A movie which touched my heart like none other before, which made me cry a lot, which is all in my eyes what a movie needs to be, deserves nothing else than
Thanks for reading this very special review, which is still special for me, and I wish you all the best in your life, take care, and have fun watching movies.
Review
A Monster Calls has a running time of 108 minutes, the movie is PG-13 rated and start on May 4 in the cinemas all over Europe and tell us the story of Connor, a young guy, who has a lot of problems in his young life already. He is living together with his mother, who is also sick, his grand mother's relationship is difficult, and in his school his mates are mobbing him. Connor is actually a very kind and friendly person. Somewho he has strange dreams, and one day he is visited by a tree, a tree, which wants to show him three stories of life. Maybe the tree also wants to show him that life is not only about good and bad things, that love and suffering is connected with pain and loss. And so we have three story which are elementary for each person's life. Those stories reflect each person's life in a way that no one can say I don't see myself in there. This is genious and one thing before we go into details: A Monster Calls is a fanominal movie, it is deeply going to your heart, it made me cry like never before, the emotions in there, the look, the animations, the cast, and many things more make this movie to something really special, and I will tell you why, now.Let's start this time with the Director who is Patrick Ness in the first line, besides Bayona.

Conclusion
What I like about the movie are the effects, the looks and optic is insane. I like the cast and the storyline of the movie, which has all, again all important points of what is life about, these are the family, friends, how we see our selves, how we deal with love and pain, how we can still hope for something. The performance of the cast is awesome, and it is a movie also for kids of 12 or 13 years, since we have topics in there, which can be discussed also with the kids after wards.It is nearly impossible to find something what I did not like about the movie. Maybe it is a bit to hard sometimes. I mean sometimes a bit too much hopeless. Don't forget that the message of the movie is like this: you go out of the cinemas and you really have something to think about, combined with the look and all the other points mentioned in the review I conclued that there is nothing bad about it anymore.

10/10 points (genre + overall)
and all what I can say is, guys if you have a chance to get a copy, do it. Just do it.Thanks for reading this very special review, which is still special for me, and I wish you all the best in your life, take care, and have fun watching movies.
