- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Monkey Man is probably the most overrated film of the year. I felt as if I was literally trapped inside an arthouse student film.
- [New] | Samuel Castro @ www.elcolombiano.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Un poco como hizo Bruce Lee en los setenta cuando se animó a dirigir, Patel intenta (y consigue) dar un golpe de autoridad en su carrera dirigiéndose a sí mismo y presentándose como un héroe de acción tan posible como cualquiera, pero a su modo.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Patel’s filmography almost charts his path to his first film, combining his hardscrabble life as a “Slumdog” with increasingly fraught experiences working in Indian hotels…
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Director and star Dev Patel crafts a bloody revenge tale, but an ultra-violent narrative overshadows the more profound message it aims to promote.
- Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: Monkey Man is a mostly great directorial debut for Dev Patel. A gritty modern take on the tales of Hanuman, the film struggles in the middle but manages to finish strong.
- Jacob Oller @ Paste Magazine
- Excerpt: From John Wick to Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee movies to the Ramayana, Patel poured his fascinations into his frenetic fable. Monkey Man finds itself in the final round, however, landing combo after bloody combo as it ascends towards actually reaching its wild-eyed ambitions.
- Andrew Wyatt @ Riverfront Times
