A young girl sees and lays traps for giants to prevent them from attacking her small hometown. If you've watched A Monster Calls (or even haven't), you know early on the heroine suffers from a certain childhood trauma, and her visions and behavior are hallucinatory defense mechanisms to deny reality. The somewhat amateurish handling here is how long it takes for the filmmakers to uncover the truth we already know. While the ending contains some valuable moments, I found it hard to forgive the way it tugs at our heart strings. Just watch the far more effective A Monster Calls.
