Critics Consensus: Well-acted and visually stylish, Monsters and Men tells its timely story with enough compassion and complexity to make up for occasionally uneven execution.

Reviews

Filmmaker Magazine

Vadim Rizov

This movie isn’t made for me, is it? Monsters and Men provides mimetic affirmation that these are dark times, and you’re not alone in constantly clocking them.

Despite losing steam in its third act, “Monsters and Men” maintains a steady sense of intimacy and relevance. Its stories feel personal and offer unique points of view on a smoldering current issue.

Episode 28: Piercing / Monsters and Men / Thunder Road / Destroyer

The film, marking the directorial debut of Reinaldo Marcus Green, presents a fickle study of the consequences of police brutality on American society, but lacks the necessary depth to complete the narrative thesis. [Full review in Spanish]

Too insipid to justify its creative choices, it feels likes a victim of its own civility.
