A monster movie. Sort of. It's the story of Conor ( Lous McDougal), who is trying to come to terms with his terminally ill mother, played by Felicity Jones, and bullies at school. He's visited by a tree monster, who tells him a series of allegorical tales and helps him cope with life. He's looked after by his grandmother (Sigourney Weaver) and the two of them have a less than ideal relationship. The acting and the special effects are remarkable. Liam Neeson is the voice of the monster, although with the audio distortion, you'd never recognize him. If you're looking for something different, I'd highly recommend this one. It's not really scary, just an excellent movie the whole family will enjoy!
4 out of 5 stars
