It’s time to put the giant-sized Muppets in the closet. Whereas Where The Wild Things Are, or, at least, Spike Jonze version of that story, is about the wondrous and magical places children transport themselves to when they are off on their own, David Lowery’s St. Nick is about the realities children face when they can no longer live inside their own heads. It’s a film about survival, not so much in the physical sense a la Into The Wild, but about the emotional and psychological survival one must endure when they are alone and wandering the world without experienced guidance.
Real-life siblings Savanna and Tucker Sears, who are without question captivating in every scene of the film, play a nameless girl and boy who have left their home behind. In the film’s opening moments, the boy wanders aimlessly first into and then through a seemingly abandoned house.
