Plot: Every night, 13 year-old Conor is visited by the Monster- yew tree from his backyard that transforms into a terrifying figure come midnight. It warns Conor that it will tell him three stories and will then want something true from him in return. Conor's nights may be haunting but his days are not any better. His mother's health is rapidly deteriorating while at school he is the target of merciless bullies.
My Movie Review: The movie is heart-wrenching the struggle got real in losing someone. It's hard to tackle this subject cause painful to think how someone get through with that no one can't really tell you what to do. Lewis MacDougall is such a powerful young actor his emotions make the movie more compelling and moving. The visual of the giant reminds me fantasy world of The BFG which was a dream while this A Monster Calls was a nightmare!!
My Favorite Lines: "There was once an invisible man who had grown tired of being unseen. It was not that he was actually invisible, it was just that people had become used to not seeing him. One day the invisible man couldn’t stand it anymore. He kept wondering if no one sees you are you really there at all. He called for a monster." "I know everything about you, Connor O’Malley. The truth you dream, the truth that you hide." "That tree is amazing. It’s been here for thousands of years." With a boy, too old to be a kid, too young to be a man." "Connor I wish I had a hundred years, a hundred years I could give to you."
