Our thoughts: Spike Jonze’s “Where the Wild Things Are” is a fantastic big-screen adventure I absolutely adored even though I never read Maurice Sendak’s beloved book. It’s a film that worked for me for so many reasons, starting with its simple, yet quite meaningful examination of the many complications of childhood.
