About Jonathan Sircy

“This movie is conflicted. On the one hand, the movie tells us, “Don’t think. Act.” On the other hand, it shows us that when we don’t think, our actions have horrible consequences.”

“Where the Wild Things Are is not a kids’ film. It’s an adult film about the moment where the adult world becomes tangible enough for a child to cause problems but too far away for the kid to do anything about it.”

“For all of this witty meta-one-upsmanship, Adaptation does make two thought provoking points: adaptation involves all of us and it occurs outside of the conscious decision of any one person.”
