If you liked movies like “The Fall”, “Big Fish” and “Pan’s Labyrinth”, which mix fantasy with drama, may I recommend “A Monster Calls”?

It is about a child dealing with his mother having a terminal illness, so yes, it can be quite sad at times but the inclusion of a storytelling sentient tree every once in a while crashing through the scene to talk to the boy, makes the movie quite great and heartfelt.

I had never heard about it or seen any scenes from it so this is a friendly recommendation for those in the mood for something different albeit poignant.

For American viewers, it is currently found on Netflix.
