SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Before I saw the movie I was reading some of the reviews here, and they where pretty ugly! If you are looking for an action movie about a girl who slays giants, do not watch it. That's not the point of this movie!
I loved it from start to end. It was fragile and touching and if you understand the symbolism of it, the dieper meaning, it touches your heart.
I went trough the same thing as the main caracter but at on older age. She flees into her own reality to cope with everything that is happening in her life, trying to stop her mother from dying. But when she understands that she can't stop that from happening, she starts facing reality and becomes a different human being. And that's where I started crying...

At the end of the movie you will understand the storyline of this beautifull movie. Beat the giant will reveal your fear. And your fear is just that giant, living in a fantasy world till you meet someone who really cares. Life is just fragile and your beloved ones can be a victim of it. Just a beautifull filmed psychological thought.

First 10 min i was hmm ok. 20 mins later i got annoyed. I got annoyed by her in person. Lol. I got annoyed with her attitude, her thinking, her rabbit ears, that leftover food hung by the beautiful breezy beach and that omg-can-you-please-wash-that jacket. Another 30 mins, I took my controller, switch off the tv and slept. 7 hours later, I googled for the ending as I do not wish to watch it again.. Lol

This movie feels like a merge of "Where the wild things are" and "My girl". The movie is about a young teen who battles a real life issue of a dying parent, an overwhelmed older sister trying to keep things together and a gamer brother . The teen displays alarming mental illness flags and is only aided by a school counselor.
The movie had good base BUT it goes very wrong as the move doesn't allow for the viewer to become emotionally connected with the main character. Barbara is arrogant, spiteful, aggressive and mean spirited. Among those things there is also not enough back story early on to really FEEL the characters plight. The back story slowly unravels along the way in small chunks but doesn't do the main character justice as you can't really SEE her true self amid her coping mechanisms.
The ending of the movie really wraps up nicely. If the producers had used some of that storytelling in the beginning the movie would have been a real success.
