An original, at times believable multi-moral tale, that is well-worth seeing.

I thought the graphics were fantastic, the story had a great premise but I was disappointed by the abrupt ending- like a drop off a cliff.

Wonderful, but hard to watch at times without that kleenex

A very unique and enjoyable movie. Technically impressive but also left the user to interpret the exact meaning of the monster. And for anyone that has lost a close loved one, this movie hit home.

Viewed this film at a sneak peek. I found its amorality refreshing. The story is basically how humans are flawed(the amorality I spoke of) and that one needs to be aware of this amorality, even within oneself. In short, a young boy whose mother is dying and whose father is absent learns lessons about himself and others through the titular monster. A children's story about us that has no "moral" lesson because people are not moral, but rather a lesson about recognizing this amorality and learning to live with it. Morals are a metaphysical tool, no more. Hard truths about our species. Well acted and shot. ?

Even though a bit dark for young children, I like how it dealt with important issues like bullying and serious illness.
