Where the Wild Things Are

Co-written and directed by Spike Jonze, this moody and masterful adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's book follows young Max as he tries to make sense of adolescence. After Max has a tantrum and is sent to bed by his mother, he runs away to a far-off land inhabited by quirky monsters who crown him their king--teaching him about the world along the way.
