A Monster Calls is a heart-wrenching fantasy drama based on Patrick Ness' novel of the same name. The film follows Conor O'Malley, a young boy grappling with the impending loss of his terminally ill mother, Lizzie, and the subsequent turmoil it causes in his life.
Conor's life is marked by various difficulties: his father is absent, his grandmother is cold and distant, and he is relentlessly bullied by a group of classmates. To cope with his overwhelming emotions, Conor conjures up an ancient tree monster in his imagination, the titular monster. The monster, a towering and ancient yew tree, visits Conor every night at exactly 12:07 am and tells him a series of stories, demanding that Conor, in turn, reveal his own truth.
Through the vividly animated tales told by the monster, Conor begins to see the complexities of life, learning that people are not always as they seem. With each story, the monster encourages Conor to confront his own deepest fears, guilt, and anger. As Conor continues to grapple with his impending loss, he finds solace in the monster's lessons, as they help him face the daunting truth of his mother's imminent passing.
Meanwhile, Conor's relationships with the people in his life evolve in various ways. He develops a fragile bond with his estranged grandmother, who struggles to connect with Conor but gradually reveals her own vulnerabilities. Additionally, Conor's relationship with his schoolmate, Lily, brings a sense of companionship and support, helping him navigate the challenges of his daily life.
As Conor's mother's health deteriorates, he becomes more desperate for a miracle. Despite his deepest wishes, the monster continues to visit him, gently pushing him to acknowledge his emotions and accept the uncontrollable nature of life. Conor ultimately learns that coming to terms with the inevitability of his mother's death is a part of grieving and healing.
In a heartbreaking climax, Conor is forced to confront the truth of his mother's condition. The monster offers Conor one final story in an attempt to ease his suffering, but Conor realizes that he must face reality head-on. After his mother's passing, Conor finds solace and closure, accepting his loss and beginning the journey of healing.
A Monster Calls is a poignant exploration of grief, love, and the power of storytelling. It beautifully depicts the complexities of a young boy's emotional journey and showcases the transformative role of imagination in times of immense pain and struggle.
