The minus I give this children's story pains me...If I had seen this film when I was eight, I would have been terrified.

The Atlantic
Rating: 3/5 --
Jonze's Wild Things is an altogether darker, colder picture: a film about the way children can lose their fear of the world only by losing their innocence.

Guardian
Rating: 3/5 --
It's all very charming and quirky... But it's also, ultimately, a little flimsy and unlikely to achieve anything like the iconic status of its source material.

Rating: 4/5 --
A moving, thoughtful look back at a time in our lives when we didn't understand the way the world works.

This isn't just an adaptation of a beloved children's book-it's a reworking of the story that captures the essence of the thing and blows it out in a way that's both unexpected and familiar.

Three Imaginary Girls
Rating: 4/5 --
'Where the Wild Things Are' stands out for its unusually potent evocation of the timbre of childhood imagining, with its combination of the outré and the banal, grand schemes jumbled up with delicate feelings and the urge to smash things up.

Time Out
Rating: 3/5 --
Loud, narcotised, emotionally stunted, it's so eager to avoid the horrors of mainstream commodity culture that it concocts a defensive version of pre-adulthood.
