A very unique and enjoyable movie. Technically impressive but also left the user to interpret the exact meaning of the monster. And for anyone that has lost a close loved one, this movie hit home.

Viewed this film at a sneak peek.
I found its amorality refreshing.
The story is basically how humans are flawed(the amorality I spoke of) and that one needs to be aware of this amorality, even within oneself.
In short, a young boy whose mother is dying and whose father is absent learns lessons about himself and others through the titular monster.
A children's story about us that has no "moral" lesson because people are not moral, but rather a lesson about recognizing this amorality and learning to live with it.
Morals are a metaphysical tool, no more.
Hard truths about our species.
Well acted and shot.
