- Excerpt: A thoughtful, bleak, and exhilirating experience that demands to be seen on the big screen.

- Excerpt: Apocalyptic and oblique, nightmarish and surreal, it’s a dark allegory, one that contains weirdly more Gummi Bear fun facts than expected.

- Excerpt: Intensity grows until ambiguity between childhood and adulthood fades away. Those with capacity to kill lose their virtue and those without realize there’s nowhere to turn.

- Excerpt: Monos’ is a movie that reminds everyone of other movies, of ‘Lord of the Flies’ and ‘Apocalypse Now’ and ‘Aguirre the Wrath of God.’ That’s not a knock on director Alejandro Landes; there’s no need to reinvent the wheel, when existing styles are the best means to tell the story you want to tell.

- Excerpt: A powerful journey into barely controlled chaos. A family that slips its reins with disastrous results.
