Where the Wild Things Are rekalled...


The picture says it all. Where the Wild Things Are is the new Spike Jonze film about the famous children's book. I was not a fan. It was a depressing morose film that was well crafted but could have been more. A very limited color pallet helps with the depressing nature of this film. The choice of voice talent was also suspect, took me out of the film. There will be an audience for this film but I am not it. Hipsters, I imagine, will love this film thinking it speaks to them. My tagline for the film would be: As Dreary and Grey as a North West Winter.
