i would say that this film give an insight to the trauma that a young mind can face when a family be split by divorce or other disaster . i would highly recommend this film especially to parent or individual plan to have a family . i find the character to be appeal and highly sympathetic from a multitude of dimension . the scary monster although probably not scary to most adult and have a very real hint of what the overactive imagination of a child who be face unknown terror might create . i find the film to be delightful .
