Your Monster

Firstly, this movie is beautifully acted, directed and written (d+w by the amazing Caroline Lindy). It is wonderfully balanced between comedy, romance (but it's not what you think), dangles its toes in occasional, and very adult, horror but at its core this is about one womans psychology and her journey to "fall in love" with her INTERNAL monster. To first face it, accept its existence, grow to like and yes love her monster. A part of her she initially fears and locks away.

Now PLEASE understand this: This movie is NOT Beauty and the Beast! If you think it is, you have missed the ENTIRE point of the movie. He ain't real! He's in her head. He is part of her, not a separate entity. Viewed form that point of view there are some really clever bits of writing that otherwise would go misunderstood, like when she blames "her monster" for a certain incident.

Dear Shakespearean actors and directors: Pay attention to the delivery in this film(it's one tiny scene). Just reciting lines is not acting, and trying to squeeze lines in for the sake of saying them is not directing. I'm looking at you Denzel Washington and Joel Coen!

On the whole, my whole family LOVED this quirky, clever, sweet, slightly twisted romcompsychorror and I for one cannot wait to see what Caroline Lindy comes up with next.

Caroline Lindy directs and writes this charming romantic comedy with a touch of horror that offers a truly fascinating look at our true personalities and the consequences of the damage they cause us.

The young director takes us on a romantic comedy that is strengthened by its light humor that dazzles you to suddenly give you one of the most satisfying final twists of this year. In a story where our protagonist, after her life falls apart, actress Laura Franco finds her voice again when she meets a terrifying, but strangely charming, monster that lives in her closet. That simplicity allows its director to cleverly explore a film that has various moods that attract you as a viewer and that end up conquering you at the end of this whole journey.

Much of the influence is due to the tremendous performance of Mexican actress Melissa Berrera, who gives the best performance of her career, where the versatility and talent of the actress are present to carry on her shoulders a film that is truly versatile in its moods and which the actress carries with total mastery each one of them, demonstrating that she has plenty of talent and that consecrates her perfect chemistry with Tommy Dewey in this charming tale of modern beauty and the beast. The same role is played by her supporting actors, where Edmund Donovan and Meghann Fahy stand out.

The director's cleverness is to offer new sensations, because it is just the kind of clever, intelligent and passionate film that will make you want to open the closet door when you start to understand the mental game that the director subjects you to when varying so many genres within the same film and the perfect work to reach the final climax where you really understand what they were really trying to convey to us.

An intelligent and well-directed film, which may have a couple of questionable decisions or some colder moments within the warmth that the film generally provides, but it undoubtedly becomes a pleasant and satisfying film that is worth giving a chance and enjoying without limiting yourself further if the genres it shares are not to your liking, but it is the magic that surrounds the proposal, letting ourselves be enchanted by one of those films that get better and better the longer you enjoy it.

Simple and charming, but strong in what really matters, which is entertaining and surprising us with a well-directed and well-interpreted proposal that makes it a pleasure for 98 minutes.

The film left a deep impression on me, I watched it in one breath. I was amazed that this is the debut work of director Caroline Lindy; this is her first full-length film, and, as they say, the beginning is promising. The director has created a fascinating romantic comedy, where elements of musical and horror have merged. The main character goes through a series of painful trials - one tragic news replaces another. But, despite all the adversity, an inner desire to live and fight is born in her, and this is largely helped by the monster neighbor, who has been hiding in her closet for a long time. I will not reveal all the cards, let it remain a surprise for the audience. The film, filled with humor and an unexpected final twist, leaves behind emotions. I confidently give it a solid 7 out of 10.

Really it's verey good I advise you to watch it someday You will come out of it shocked. There are some things that are considered bad, such as that the length of the monster is close to the height of Melissa Barrera. It should have been larger, in addition to the fact that the blood at the end was clearly artificial and not real, but in the end the film is considered good. The performance of Tommy and Melissa Barrera was good and the ending is good. But I want to know what will happen next. Will they arrest her or will she survive somehow? I hope there will be a second part, but I don't want it to be a bad part. I want it to be a continuation of what happens, and I hope they don't arrest her. Rather, I want us to get away in some way.

I finally got to see "Your Monster", for the first time, and Your Monster, was absolutely pretty funny, and also pretty cute and wonderful, but when it comes to comedy, it should I say a romantic monster comedy, then Melissa Barrera and Tommy Dewey can do it all!

I love Melissa Barrera from "Scream 5 and 6", and let's not forget a vampire ballerina "Abigail", and her performance was so beautiful, and Tommy Dewey, did a brilliant job as Monster. They both slayed and stole the whole show in this movie.

I'm absolutely surprised and honored they made this movie, and Caroline Lindy did a great job writing and directing it, with her own version of film making with this kind of monster we pretty much needed.

This movie will be so much fun to watch, and we need these kinda movies to watch and have fun in the movies, or even at your home, even if that means there could be a monster in your closet.

10/10.
