Young Max (newcomer Max Records), frustrated by his home life and a mom who doesn’t understand him, turns his bedroom into a fantastical land inhabited by mysterious creatures he attempts to tame. This live-action adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s celebrated children’s classic remains faithful to the book while presenting an immersive world with a contemporary spin, thanks to Spike Jonze’s unique sensibility, co-writer Dave Eggers’s strange, alluring prose, and an of-the-moment score from composer Carter Burwell and indie powerhouse Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
DIRECTED BY: Spike Jonze. WRITTEN BY: Spike Jonze, Dave Eggers. WITH: Max Records, Catherine Keener, Mark Ruffalo, Lauren Ambrose. 2009. 101 min. USA. Color. English. Rated PG; suitable for ages 9+. DCP.
