{4\/5} “Stories are wild creatures, Conor O’Malley. If you let them loose, who knows what havoc they may wreak.”<\/p>\n
A Monster Calls<\/strong>, released in 2016<\/p>\n Conor is visited, possibly in his dreams, by a tree monster who demands that he listen to 3 stories — and then tell him one. The monster’s stories are true stories from the past — and he wants to hear about Conor’s nightmare. Meanwhile, Conor’s mother is very sick and his horrible grandmother is visiting.<\/p>\n Much of the movie is fairly sad.<\/p>\n The monster’s stories are animated in an interesting way.<\/p>\n It’s about family, stories, and the truth.<\/p>\n Young actor Lewis MacDougall does a tremendous job as Conor.<\/p>\n Stars Sigourney Weaver, Felicity Jones, and the voice of Liam Neeson. Directed by J.A. Bayona (The Impossible<\/strong>). The music is by Fernando Vel\u00e1zquez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {4\/5} “Stories are wild creatures, Conor O’Malley.
