I felt the visual effects were well done and I like the fantasy aspect of it. I thought it was a well made film, quite an imaginative one, if a little over the top but I imagine youngish kids would enjoy this (if not adults).

I'm under the impression this is supposed to tug at the heartstrings, but the actions of certain characters and the way in which events unfold are jarringly random. This film is utterly gorgeous to look at however and the kid's acting is heavyweight gold.

A 40 page children's book of 338 words aimed at illustrating the balance between indulging base emotions (anger) and the need for parental nurture is expanded into a 90-min film that loses some of its appeal to kids. The film becomes more about Max learning the weight of responsibility, that "fun and games" have consequences and that other people's feeling have importance too. The design of the Wild Things is great and the film is very good, but has the indie hallmark of limited audience appeal.

The first act has some really beautiful filmmaking from Jonze that captures a child's perspective on their world. The fantasy scenes have a few nice landscape shots but it's hard to escape the rather ugly budget blowing CGI aesthetic.

To be perfectly honest, I remember none of this film save the basic plot and I don't care enough to find and rewatch it. But I do remember enjoying it a fair amount when as a child.

The opening sequence was magical and Catherine Keener was perfectly cast. The rest of the film is...okay.
