A Monster Calls (2016) - Full Reaction
Added 2025-05-27 08:31:03 +0000 UTCI need to apologize for the sniffs and crying almost the whole time. This really brought up some stuff for me and even though it was painful, it also was cathartic. It was so different than anything I have seen and deals with stories and grief in a unique way. I really cried so much. I'm sorry!

This was heartbreaking. This is one of the worst parts of any child's life. On a lighter note, the actor who played the dad was Koba in the War for the Planet of the Apes.

2025-06-03 17:33:17 +0000 UTCDeep Breath, Let me gather my thoughts... So we were very impressed by you Cassie, in that outro normally we listen while we talk about the movie. She went and put on The Bryds Turn, Turn, Turn while we listened to you very closely. She said listen to this Zach she is pouring her heart out. So we both listened. We remember you talking about your sister before. (Rain Man) Yeah we remember her name. Not for us to say. We both thought it took a lot of courage to say what you needed to say. We hope that helped. Sometimes it helps to get it all out there. Remember what the horse said, in the Boy, The Mole The Fox and The Horse. " Tears fall for a reason And they're your strength not your weakness"

2025-06-01 17:48:10 +0000 UTCAll right, that was not what I was expecting. I don't know what I was expecting. I had never heard of this movie, but it was so good and sad. I don't think I've ever seen Cassie cry this much in the four years I've followed her. And now I know why; thanks for sharing that. Movies always hit a lot harder when you can relate to them. This is a movie that I would have never watched by myself, and that's why I love YouTube reactions and being a Patron. And I cannot say enough about the actor Lewis MacDougall, after this performance, I don't know why I haven't seen him in many more movies.

2025-05-30 12:02:23 +0000 UTCI looked at some old Reddit threads from when this movie was released, and apparently everyone in the theater (not that it was that many) would be crying.

2025-05-30 00:04:36 +0000 UTCThis was extremely powerful. Both the movie and your reaction. Never apologize for who you are and showing us your true feelings. That was an incredibly strong and personal outro. Given your family history and the subject matter understandably this movie really hit you in a personal place. Thank you for sharing your history and I'm glad that even though it was a very emotional watch , you came out the other end with some catharsis. I'm glad your family was there so that you could give him a big hug after.

2025-05-29 00:04:37 +0000 UTCInteresting how you mention catharsis - I find your reactions to be quite cathartic in helping deal with the daily doom and gloom - if only we could bottle you 😉!

2025-05-28 20:04:57 +0000 UTCI admit I never even heard of this movie before. After some checking I'm not even sure it had a theatrical release here, but only direct to DVD. During the first half I wasn't sure, but oh boy it got my by the end good and haven't felt this emotional during a movie for a while. Then when it was over, Cassie's story in the outro got me a second time. It is the day after and these are still in my thoughts, as are some family members I lost over the past years and decades. It was a nice touch by the creators to make Liam Neeson the grandfather, not just the voice of the monster. In the mother's childhood room at the end you can recognize him on the family pictures.

2025-05-28 13:25:19 +0000 UTCCass.. the reason why I and Im sure everyone who is a part of this world you created, is because of your big heart and vaulnerability . Never say sorry for showing your true colors. Its what makes you so awesome. This movie was pretty awesome and Im glad you shared it with us. The ending reminded me of when my mom passed away.. all my family was there and for whatever reasons everyone had left except me and my sister .. it was like it was meant to be that only her and I would be there at her passing. So when the nurse told us it was close, we both knelt by my mom on either side and held her hand and as we watched her take her last breaths, we both told her that it was ok and that she can go rest now and be with her folks.. thinking back... I think I feel the same that boy did in the movie.. I just wanted her pain to be over. And just like the tree in the movie.. at the time of my moms passing.. God was there with us telling us its gonna be tough but you will get through it and I will not leave you.
