I love Liam Neeson's roles and think he is a great actor. In this role he plays a monster, not an evil monster out to eat luttle children but to help a young boy deal with hos morher's cancer. I have had cancer three times and I can understand the mother as she goes through different treatments as she tries to stop the cancer. This is a very good movie telling the relationship between the boy and his mother in a very trying time. I highly recommend this movie.

me and my son watched it one evening an found it to be entertaining and sad at the same time,the subject matter it dealt with just happened to some things that we were going threw as well,like the lost of a loved one due to cancer,it helps you to deal with your emotions and feelings,the movie is not what I was expecting but was still good. I recommend it to everyone so as to break away from the routine movies,so grab some snacks and tissues and see the movie

I really enjoyed this movie. I loved the darkness of it, the love the son has for his mother, and the way the monster helps him get to the bottom of his feelings. Lots of emotions inside this movie. I cry every time I watch it.
