This is the 2nd time I've seen this movie, and I love it more and more with each viewing! It's so sad but do beautiful at the same time! A true cinematic masterpiece that everyone should see!

Dealing with such heavy matters as death, faith and forgiveness, the film wants to be a classic-in-the-making, but it just doesn’t hit the emotional and narrative cues necessary for such a weighty job.

A Monster Calls is both governed and straitjacketed by director J.A. Bayona’s competent impersonality.

A lovely film and another impressive calling card for Bayona, who can mix genres in an innovative way like his former producer, Guillermo del Toro. He's created a deeply emotional film about loss that will probably have you crying by film's end.
