Riddle of Fire Review | A Bonkers Neo-Fairytale
Set against a gorgeous Wyoming backdrop, this mixed-bag of a kids' movie tries to walk a fine line between childish humor and adults-only edge.
Earlier this century, Maurice Sendak's iconic children's book, Where the Wild Things Are, was turned into a feature film by none other than Spike Jonze. The adaptation, however, was no kids' movie — but rather, a movie about kids. See what we mean? A similar argument could be made about Riddle of Fire, the debut feature from Utah writer-director Weston Razooli. On the surface, this lush fantasy film may seem right up your kid's alley. But ultimately, it's perhaps better suited for adults.
