This movie is so deep and insightful and speaks so gently to the human condition. As a bereaved mom, it brought up strong waves of unresolved grief and was a cathartic experience. Grief is the greatest reminder that life often doesn't make sense the way we're conditioned to believe it should. After losing a child, 2+2 can never again be 4 for me. My world was upside down, could not make sense of anything after that. What I needed was acceptance and the ability to believe that joy can still exist where deep sadness also resides. I really appreciated seeing that in the tales the Monster told and the little boy's frustration with the stories. I'd love to continue but I don't want to give it away. I highly recommend this movie but having quite a few boxes of tissues nearby is recommended.
