Movie Reviews

RogerEbert.com - 10/10 by Godfrey CheshireThe movie deserves to be known, first of all, as a terrific example of intelligent, captivating film craft—further proof of the recent strength of Mexican cinema.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Peter KeoughPlá’s comedy is black, but his moral position isn’t black and white.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Michael O'SullivanDirector Rodrigo Plá, working from a spare yet jangly screenplay by Laura Santullo, steadily builds suspense, craftily calibrating subtle shifts in perspective that allow us to alternate, seamlessly, between impartial observers and, as it were, active participants.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Bilge EbiriRaluy, a Mexican TV and stage star making her movie debut, is captivating as a woman whose terror at her own behavior is matched only by her bewilderment at the system around her.... But the real star here is Plá, with his total control of the frame.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Michael RechtshaffenAlthough the title might suggest cheesy sensationalism, A Monster With a Thousand Heads serves as a sobering, all-too-relatable indictment of the bureaucratic Hydra that is the medical insurance industry.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Mike D'AngeloIt’s worth seeing just for its object lesson in how shifts in perspective can radically alter the tenor and meaning of material that might otherwise come across as pompously silly.
Indiewire - 7/10 by David EhrlichRodrigo Plá's intermittently engaging A Monster With a Thousand Heads is unique for how it captures the urgency of a system that's designed to frustrate and confuse people into helplessness.
Screen International - 7/10 by Lee MarshallIt’s a nice premise, one grounded and lent empathy not only by a series of strong performances but by the script’s point-of-view shifts.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by Boyd van HoeijThis is a lean and efficient mix of thriller, drama and socio-political commentary.
Variety - 7/10 by Guy LodgeTempering the strong medicine of its social-justice protestations with a streak of outlandish melodrama, this “Monster” may not have quite as many facets as its title implies, but Pla’s formally deft manipulation of perspective keeps the pic both urgent and even-handed.
