Reviews

Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
The actors make it unique and unforgettable.
90
The New York Times - Dana Stevens
The raw intimacy of some of the scenes -- whether they take place at a diner, in the death house or in the bedroom -- is breathtaking.
88
New York Post - Lou Lumenick
Packs a dramatic wallop that makes it one of the year's best movies.
80
Variety - Robert Koehler
Burning with a quiet intensity, Monster's Ball is bolstered by a poetic, intelligent sensibility not seen in an American film since Terrence Malick's "The Thin Red Line."
75
Boston Globe - Jay Carr
The kind of film that could easily be undone by its own high-minded ambitions and dissolve in a pall of uplift. But it stays the course and gives the season two of its notable performances.
