Where The Wild Things Are

Where The Wild Things Are directed by Spike Jonze
2009
★★✰✰✰ 
So I really like Spike Jonze's movies.  I loved Being John Malkovich and enjoyed Adaptation (despite Nicholas Cage).  But I just didn't get this movie.  It was definitely not a children's movie. It was quite dark and I'm still unsure of what it was all about. I used to read the book by Maurice Sendak all the time but I feel the movie is missing the light-heartedness that makes the book so likable.  On the plus side, the visual effects were incredible and the "wild things" were amazingly real.
