Listen "House of Jonze - 240 - Where the Wild Things Are"
Episode Synopsis
Spike Jonze’s 2009 film Where the Wild Things Are is an ambitious adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s book, but despite its stunning visuals and unique atmosphere, it struggles to capture the warmth and timeless charm of the original story. Billed as a family movie, this fantasy-drama often feels more like an indie art film, leaving many viewers, especially younger audiences, confused, restless, or disappointed.
