Coraline
2009 · TMDB 7.9
Directed by Henry Selick
Wandering her rambling old house in her boring new town, 11-year-old Coraline discovers a hidden door to a strangely idealized version of her life. In order to stay in the fantasy, she must make a frighteningly real sacrifice.
Why it matters
Henry Selick's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novella, in which a girl discovers a parallel world with an 'other mother' who wants to keep her forever. A dark fairy tale about the dangers of desire and the strength of family.
