A Monster Calls submitted by lstorc on July 7, 2019, 11:05pm A Monster Calls is a deeply intoned tale that grounds one's grief into an allegory.

Beautifully rendered submitted by ferielp on July 15, 2019, 7:15pm Liam Neeson's voice is so suited to this character.

Tears submitted by caburr47 on August 3, 2019, 2:53pm The acting is beautiful, the story is touching and you will not be able to hold in the tears at the end.
It certainly prompted me to want to read the book, if the movie was so well done.
