The script for Monster feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Monster.

The cinematography in Monster is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Everyone praising the Monster performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Monster?
Honestly, Monster would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Monster?
Just got out of Monster and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
