This film was released for TV in 2011.. I saw it a decade later.. It is a remarkable achievement, all around. A boy goes through much adversity, trying to achieve a seemingly unreachable goal. The lead actors, as a child, and as a teenager, and Kim Delaney, as his mother, are exceedingly credible.. The supporting players give masterful performances. The only spoiler might be tht one could guess the ending of the movie. But see it to the very end. It is definitely worth it.

Hello Monster
(2015)
Totally Engrossing!
31 January 2021
HELLO MONSTER is extraordinary. The writing is so clever and ingenious. It combined roller coaster mystery and twists, with irony, biting humor, and surprise.. The lead character is intelligent and cuttingly quick-witted, while still being charismatic and sensitive. The female lead is also empathetic . She is intelligent, determined, and extremely likeable. All of the other characters are equally well-rounded and important to the plot. The acting is just flawless.. The lead actors do amazingly, enthrallingly well. The actor portraying the lawyer, a young man showing little or no emotion, is in such tremendous control of his character. And the supporting acting is equally amazing. The editing, the music, the make-up, the cinematography - all equally excellent. This is definitely one of those stories where avoiding spoiler is higly advised. Truly one of the best ever!
