Review: Where the Wild Things Are
Rating: ****
Nonna's Rating: $$$
Rotten Tomatoes: 73%
Every once in a while a movie appears that simply transcends the art form. I could pick this film apart. Analyze it. Talk about some excellent performances. Comment on the music so perfectly in tune with the story--but I don't want to. This is one of those films that asks you to just be in "the now." Don't think about it. Don't try to figure out what's going on. Just be.
Be a child who hasn't been behaving very well. Be a child with a wild imagination. Be a child who loses himself to fantasy. Be whimsical and marvel. Live in a time when reality was flexible and controllable -- to a point. We are, all of us, after all, not so far from being wild things.
