Movie Reviews

RogerEbert.com - 9/10 by Matt FagerholmThere’s a considerable amount of catharsis in They Call Us Monsters, but it is bittersweet at best.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe film feels like a well-meaning but inadequate knee jerk response to a problem far bigger than the one offered here.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) - 6/10 by Bob BloomWhat the film does, is point a laser at wasted lives and potential. If only the movie had spent more time zeroing in on the individuals and their stories and less on the rhetoric around them.
Laramie Movie Scope - 6/10 by Robert RotenThere is an enormous contrast between the juveniles, as seen in their prison and courtroom settings, and the scenes which show the severity of the crimes committed.
Pittsburgh City Paper - 6/10 by Al HoffThese three lives presented offer unique circumstances, but Monsters is quietly provocative, illuminating some of those caught up in an imperfect system of imprisoning juveniles.
Variety - 6/10 by Nick SchagerThey Call Us Monsters, alas, is so taken with its access to kids facing such legal circumstances that it forgets to form a compelling argument about them.
New York Times - 6/10 by Ben KenigsbergThey Call Us Monsters doesn’t shy from the consequences of the violence the prisoners were accused of (we meet a paralyzed victim of a shooting), even as it suggests that the system...proceeds almost mechanically.
Washington Post - 5/10 by Michael O'SullivanEven if you agree with the film’s argument that teenagers shouldn’t be locked up for life when there are other ways to save them, “Monsters” doesn’t offer a convincing argument that a screenwriting class is that lifeline.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Robert AbeleThere’s little doubt prison reform needs to address the severe effects of locking up kids for life, but They Call Us Monsters feels like a well-meaning skim rather than an impassioned, expertly reasoned plea for mercy.
User Review - 10/10 by Jamila MAn amazing film. It was raw and real and I left truly examaning what else could I do to make a change.
