Watch Come Play

[Reda]

Invitesaudiences to express empathy for its main character, a boy on the autism spectrum. Shows difficulties that come up in family relationships affected by autism, but also the beauty. Also deals with bullying, offers a positive (if slightly implausible) solution.

Oliver is a nuanced representation of a person on the autism spectrum; although some cruelly treat him as an outcast, he also clearly has genuine thoughts and feelings. He's a somewhat passive character in this story -- things happen to him more often than he makes things happen -- but it's easy to feel empathy for him. The parents are more troubled, flawed characters dealing with real-life stressors, but the mother sacrifices herself to save Oliver.

Children in peril, terrified. Scary stuff/visual effects. Scary monster. Jump scares. Bullies pick on the main character (one grabs his phone and throws it). Character in a car wreck (only squealing brakes heard); later, the character is shown lying in a hospital bed with his leg in a cast. Characters smash light bulbs, screens, various devices.

Parents need to know that Come Play is a horror movie about Oliver (Azhy Robertson), a boy on the autism spectrum who comes upon an ebook about "Larry," a lonely monster who wants a friend. Despite a few small story flaws, it's well made and just scary enough for younger teens and up. Expect to see kids in peril, scary visual effects, a monster, a few jump scares, bullies, and characters smashing things. A car crash is suggested through the sound of squealing brakes. Language includes a few uses of "s--t" (spoken by adult characters), as well as "hell," "boner," "loser," and "freak." Fortnite is mentioned, and SpongeBob SquarePants plays a fairly large part in the story: Oliver frequently watches scenes from the cartoons, and he hums the theme song to calm himself. His parents seem to be having relationship troubles, but sex isn't an issue. To stay in the loop on more movies like this, you can sign up for weekly Family Movie Night emails.

note: we couldn't figure out how to let her write the review in the app, so we are using my profile. Here's a review from my scary movie loving 7 year old: I think it would be too scary for some kids because this weird monster talking to a boy and trying to kidnap him. I liked that it was fun. You should watch it because I think a lot of people would like it. It is a very good movie and I think they worked very hard on it. It teaches you about some people who can't talk and they learn how to talk. The movie has a great message about taking care of each other.

In COME PLAY, Oliver (Azhy Robertson) is a boy on the autism spectrum who loves SpongeBob SquarePants. Oliver doesn't speak, instead communicating with his mother (Gillian Jacobs) and father (John Gallagher Jr.) via an app on his cell phone. One day a mysterious ebook, Misunderstood Monster, shows up on his device. It tells the story of "Larry," a monster who wants a friend and will "climb through a window" to get one. During a sleepover with three other boys -- a hopeful attempt to get Oliver to make some friends -- Larry manifests himself. From then on, it's only a matter of time until Larry comes for Oliver. Can his parents protect him?

Despite small hiccups in plot and character, this teen-friendly horror movie is a well-made production from top to bottom, and it effectively encourages strong empathy for its central characters. Written and directed by Jacob Chase, who adapted his own five-minute short film to feature length, Come Play resembles The Babadook in many ways, but it doesn't quite reach that film's league. It sometimes clouds the rules behind Larry; in one scene, Oliver smashes the lights in his room and causes Larry to fizzle out, even though Larry seems to have the power to douse the lights himself when he arrives. It also rushes friendships between Oliver and three other boys who start out by bullying him. But the dynamic between the family of three makes up for these things.

Young Robertson is remarkable as Oliver, while Jacobs' Sarah spends the most time with him and is tested by the impact of his autism. Her impatience leads to rash decisions, which drives the story. Meanwhile, Gallagher's Marty frequently works -- a night shift in a little booth in the center of a parking lot, a nice touch -- and gets to be the "fun" one at home. Come Play is bold enough to illustrate the strain in the family members' relationships, humanizing them. And it has a strong, vivid look that recalls the suburban habitats of E.T. and Poltergeist (Steven Spielberg's Amblin was one of the production companies). It also boasts tight, precise editing by Gregory Plotkin (Get Out), a chilling score by Roque Banos (Evil Dead), and a smart sound design, with Larry's slow, clicking footsteps an especially effective touch.

Hawkins joined Dave Grohl's band during the encore section of the show at the home of West Ham United F.C. to play I'll Stick Around, the second single from the American band's self-titled 1995 debut album.

Dave Grohl greeted Hawkins with the words "Hi Shane, thank you for waiting three hours to come play drums with us", before the band launched into the song, which the drummer wrote about his formerly fractious relationship with Courtney Love. Earlier in the evening Grohl had dedicated a performance of Aurora, from the band's There Is Nothing Left To Lose album, to the Hawkins family.

This was not the first time that Shane Hawkins, whose father tragically passed away on March 25, 2022 during a Foo Fighters' South American tour, has played onstage with the band.

In September '22 the young drummer performed My Hero with Foo Fighters at the Wembley Stadium edition of the all-star Tribute Concert honouring his father, and later joined the band at the US staging of the concert, to perform I'll Stick Around and My Hero at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California.
