This is the perfect example of selflessness. She gave him such a gift that so many people need. So many people regret not having this closure. She was so enlightened. What a beautiful soul she has.
This movie did not get the publicity and acknowledgement it deserves. Possibly the most heart-wrenching scene on screen. I would not be able to watch through the movie again without crying my heart out.
first time I saw it, I cried for a week. i was writing a review about the movie, all I had to do was just think and internalize - which is the writing process - and I am sure to sob, while on commute sometimes.
honestly, I found this film yesterday BY ACCIDENT and I’m in tears since I watched it. I’ve never seen such a heartbreaking but also heartwarming movie - speechless
Agreed. It deserved Oscar nominations. Oscar really are big joke. They only nominate mainstream or politically-correct movies & overlook the real good ones.
This movie means so much to me. I lost my dad to ALS and my mom to brain cancer. This story nailed every emotion I felt, every thought I had, and I loved its brutal honesty. I am currently fighting depression from losing them and stories like this, while incredibly sad and dark, it was very therapeutic.
“You be as angry as you need to be,” she said. “Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Not your grandma, not your dad, no one. And if you need to break things, then by God, you break them good and hard.”-Mum Shout out to all the wonderful mothers who’ve been taken far too soon , god please comfort all their devastated children. This book touched my soul I cried when I thought I wouldn’t I wish I could’ve helped Connor he was such a strong boy facing a lot . He found comfort in isolating himself & believing things would get better. This was a good heart tugging read I felt ended too soon but that’s how life is !!!!
Captures how a love or bond between loved ones can transcend words. His mother tells him how she understands his rage,his hurt his feelings without sugar coating or talking down to him. Kudos to the writer for avoiding the whole "I'm going to a better place" angle.....
I have always been really attached to my mum, especially through my teenage years. I almost lost her and it was the end of me. My mum chose this movie one night with me not knowing what to expect, throughout the movie we were a sobbing mess. I had to stop and walk away for a second. At the end we had a heart to heart moment and spoke about everything. I will forever cherish this movie.
The love of mother is the greatest thing in this world. She wanted to make sure he never felt any type of of regret for being angry at this situation. She wanted to unburden him from any guilt he might feel later on for being angry. The moment when he looked at his mother after she said it’s ok that you are so angry you don’t even want to speak to me. I know everything you have to say without using any words. How beautiful so much love for one another 😢
I saw this movie when i was 10 and my step dad took me to see it to help with the passing of my mum and im so grateful for him and what he went through
The film score, the acting, the story, they are all very well done. I almost teared up, thrice when I first watched A Monster Calls. God. This movie is criminally underrated!!
This scene is one of the most heartbreaking scenes I've ever seen, I think In some way we can all relate to this, everyone knows someone taken too early by cancer or something else, it also relates to me in a different way I'm someone who finds it hard to express myself and if someone said that to me I think I'd be eternally grateful.
This movie is one giant metaphor for YOUR life. You absorb what you believe and that's the beauty of movie magic that this film has captivated so well. For me I can easily relate to the boys anger and how he doesn't understand it but by the end of the film it helped me to realize.
I just finished watching this, and it was the most emotional and saddest movie I have ever watched. I never cry watching movies, but for the first time in my life, I had tears running down my face and started to sob. I actually had to pause at both of the hospital scenes with the Mom and Connor so I could calm myself down and wipe the tears from my eyes. This was such a trear-jerker.
Fuuuuuuuuuuccckkkkkkk this movie makes me cry so much, it reminds me so much of my mother, even though her death was sudden and we didn't get to say these things, but I know she would've said the same things 😢😢😢😢
I feel you man. This scene is really up there. Makes you wonder what our parents were thinking, if everything is ok. Maybe we all wanna hear them say everything will be ok amid lifes difficulties.
Love this movie, J.A Bayona chooses such young but talented actors to portray young characters for all of his films, its just wonderful and exciting and marvelous
This scene, mother's death scene, and ending scene are so heartbreaking. 😢 These 3 scenes are my favorites. Jones, MacDougall & Weaver did a great job here.
Me too. I was where Conor is. But we never had a conversation so cinematic of course. The tears I guess is a wonder if mom would have said those very words to me too.
It's the end when he sees his mums drawing of the same imaginary friend 😭😭😭😭I'll add this to black beauty (sean bean ) and watership down as movies to avoid if you're feeling a bit wobbly yourself
Saw this movie December 2017/2016. It was released here in our country early than the US/UK. I cant remember when was the last time i cried because of a movie. I dont like movies that are CANCER related plot because it makes me emotional, because my Dad passed away because of Cancer last 2010. I dont have any idea about what the movie is, i just watched the trailer and thought it was just a coming of age adventure movie... But it is not, it is more than that, A fantasy drama and it hits me so hard. After my father died in 2010, i think i never cried again because it was the most devastating thing i experienced so i guess it makes me really stronger. But then, here comes this movie... And i literally fvcking cried. Im a straight masculine man but i was sobbing in theaters. And this became one of my favorite movie of all time even i only watched it once be ause i dont want to watch it again because it is too emotional. ❤️
Saw this movie in January 2017. Needed to see it. My dear friend was in her last battle with cancer. After 13 years, I knew how it ended and needed to see this movie. I wish I had 100 years I could have given her. I'll never celebrate Christmas again. NEVER.
+David 1755 I'm very sorry for your loss. But...I hope you don't lose yourself, as well. I wish you happy memories. I hope you recall little things, here and there; tiny trinkets, small glimmers, sprinkles of what made your friend...your friend. I'm sure she knew how much you loved her. She loved you, too. After we experience loss, we tend to lash out in anger. But anger, held within, becomes depression. Move forward. Even if it's just one step per day. Try. The great thing about love is, it never leaves us. It merely transforms. It changes. It ebbs and flows, like the tide. But, it will always return. Remember your friend. Recall your love. Honor her memory, by continuing *your* journey... And, if you feel up to it, hang a single ornament, this Christmas. Do it for her. That way, she'll know how much you still care.
She died, but that doesn’t mean you have to lose yourself too. Celebrate Christmas. Don’t cry over her death, but celebrate her life. If you show her you’re okay she won’t feel bad for leaving
Theory, the monster is Conner’s grandfather. First, in the picture of His mom and grandpa, the grandpa is Liam Neeson, the same actor who plays the monster. Also when the monster tells Conner that his own story ends when Lizzie dies, leads me to believe that he has become whole again knowing that he will be with his daughter. I think the monster, lizzie’s dad, appears to her child self after his own death to heal her. If this makes sense then awesome
it’s a sad scene but for me it was more eye opening that there’s an alternative to having to be happy all the time in the face of hardships. Ive always had trouble especially as a kid with expressing negative emotions so I’d just bottle up and to see you can instead tell someone it’s okay to be angry, I understand and feel your emotions (rage, sadness etc) you don’t have to try and find words is a lesson ill keep in mind for others
This movie is too close to reality for some, well made and too dramatic, good acting. Not everyone is in the mood for something like this. That probably why it flopped

Is it really possible that thus movie didn't won an Oscar. The Best movie of the year
The writers definitely should have
Agreed. It deserved Oscar nominations. Oscar really are big joke. They only nominate mainstream or politically-correct movies & overlook the real good ones.
And saddest
Because it.wasnt american.
This movie means so much to me. I lost my dad to ALS and my mom to brain cancer. This story nailed every emotion I felt, every thought I had, and I loved its brutal honesty.

You're not alone. I can't say I'm over mine even up to now.
Daniel Ueltschi all the best to you. You are in my thoughts 👊💪
We watched the whole movie in school and the whole class cried even the teachers were bursting out tears!
Praying for you.
“You be as angry as you need to be,” she said. “Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Not your grandma, not your dad, no one. And if you need to break things, then by God, you break them good and hard.”-Mum
Shout out to all the wonderful mothers who’ve been taken far too soon , god please comfort all their devastated children.
This book touched my soul I cried when I thought I wouldn’t I wish I could’ve helped Connor he was such a strong boy facing a lot . He found comfort in isolating himself & believing things would get better. This was a good heart tugging read I felt ended too soon but that’s how life is !!!!
this scene was to be the end of manly resolve...Hoover dam broke its banks

There is no better way of saying goodbye than letting others know that you know how much they loved you

No scene, from any movie, pulls out tears like this one.. for me. Beautiful.
I saw this movie when i was 10 and my step dad took me to see it to help with the passing of my mum and im so grateful for him and what he went through

I love how she said everything but the word goodbye and still hits the gut the same, maybe stronger than actually saying the words.
This movie is one giant metaphor for YOUR life. You absorb what you believe and that's the beauty of movie magic that this film has captivated so well. For me I can easily relate to the boys anger and how he doesn't understand it but by the end of the film it helped me to realize.
this is the single greatest scene ive ever seen terms of realness and replication of real life.
This movie deserves more credit than it got
I just finished watching this, and it was the most emotional and saddest movie I have ever watched. I never cry watching movies, but for the first time in my life, I had tears running down my face and started to sob. I actually had to pause at both of the hospital scenes with the Mom and Connor so I could calm myself down and wipe the tears from my eyes. This was such a trear-jerker.
Times I cried while reading the book: 4
Times I cried while watching the movie: 5
preach brother
When you see your own story in a movie. It hurts and makes me smile. And after all my tears, there is the awareness.
The most touching film I've ever watched
Fuuuuuuuuuuccckkkkkkk this movie makes me cry so much, it reminds me so much of my mother, even though her death was sudden and we didn't get to say these things, but I know she would've said the same things 😢😢😢😢

Completely agree with this and the same situation, this film put everything i ever felt into 2 hours
Love this movie, J.A Bayona chooses such young but talented actors to portray young characters for all of his films, its just wonderful and exciting and marvelous
This scene, mother's death scene, and ending scene are so heartbreaking. 😢 These 3 scenes are my favorites. Jones, MacDougall & Weaver did a great job here.

I cried just remembering this scene. The boy's me only that I had no monster and I wasn't that brave.
I wish I had a hundred years, a hundred years I could give it to you cry

This is the only movie that has ever made me cry!!!!
The only film that made me cry just rethinking about it for a week after watching it
This makes me so mad, sad, it makes me so many things. Im just sobbing my eyes out for so many reasons. This hurts. This is beautiful
The book and the movie are really alike and i love this
This film.. this movie... ♥️
Dammm my head hurts ..life is soo sad
Y’all should check out the song “time moved slowly then” by killedmyself, he uses voice lips from this movie.

Here I am...41 years old...crying like a little kid...
This movie destroyed my soul
This movie doesnt need to win any Oscar. It won our hearts and our appreciation 😢
Losing a mother is probably the most hardest thing I had to deal with, to make matters worse she died overseas and I couldn't be there by her side
I cried so hard at this part 😭
it’s a sad scene but for me it was more eye opening that there’s an alternative to having to be happy all the time in the face of hardships.

This movie means so much to me
The whole end of the movie had me in tears
I saw this movie at the cinema and my eyes were in tears when i saw this part
This made me cry 😢
I read this book and finished it today in english😥💔💔💔
This film was so sad
Agreed
Who is cutting onions
This movie has many affecting uncomfortable moments, I like it.
Also I read the book and it was so emotional 😭
i was crying
I only read the book back in 2014 or 15 heavent watched the movie yet
Why my face so wet?
Eromoba- sensei yea I watched this video and for some reason there is a flood in my room
im back again
This shit broke my heart
This movie is too close to reality for some, well made and too dramatic, good acting. Not everyone is in the mood for something like this. That probably why it flopped
as an only child with a mother who died of cancer it is on the money 😟
so many onion ninjas.....T.T
😱😓😥😰😭
