Not 100% Family Friendly

Rating: 6/10 (19 November 2016)

Saw it today (11/18) and it's pretty good except for one caveat: not the most "family- friendly" film, especially the parts where the cruel mother punishes her son with his own belt (humiliation). Some children might have issues with these scenes that depict the cruel mother played by Samantha Morton beating/abusing a 19yr old son. The mother's beatings are very humiliating and the scenes are very dark....probably not okay for small children.
the CGI is very well done, the CG created beasts are wonderful as well as believable.
the whole story-line seemed to drag on a bit longer than it really needed to, probably could've eliminated some of the fluff...
the ending is definitely setup for more films yet to come.
