During the initial hour, you may experience a state of complete bewilderment, unsure of the exact themes being portrayed in here. Is it centred around the troubled minds of children, or does it delve into the realms of bullying, abuse, or even something more sinister? Several questions will plague your mind, regardless of your strong inclination to scrutinise this narrative, you will find little to no clarity due to the intricately crafted script that almost follows a 'Rashomon' structure, presenting different perspectives. At the outset, your queries will remain unanswered, requiring further patience. However, if you can somehow endure that burden, the film remarkably unravels itself in the concluding moments, connecting every single dot and revealing its ultimate truth underneath. I must admit, I was blown away by the revelation. The way Hirokazu Koreeda, the director, masterfully navigates through such delicate and complex themes without resorting to any impure contemplations is commendable, to say the very least. "Monster" has now undoubtedly become my personal favourite from him, even exceeding one of his most acclaimed work, 'Shoplifters'. P. S. The performances delivered by the two kids, Soya Kurokawa (Minato) and Hinata Hiiragi (Yori), were nothing short of outstanding. The scenes between them never felt superficial, not once, and their maturity, especially considering their young age, deserves nothing but high praise.

The movie has a good start. We're introduced to the characters, the mother and the kid, and after a series of events, the problem is presented: what is happening to the kid? The question is a good one, and the movie is efficient in keeping the mystery alive. However, the film goes downhill in the second half, where we see the developments over and over but from different characters' perspectives. This narrative technique allows clues and information to be learnt along the way, but Monster fails in including many scenes that feel unnecessary and drag on for too long, leaving the audience uninterested by that point. The same story could've been told in much less time.

It kinda of annoys me that every year about this time, a big bunch of pretentious dramas pop out of nowhere, just to fit in the Oscars season. This movie is one of those. I like good movies and even the entertaining ones. I don't care about the genre, it could even be a horror flick I don't care, so I watch mostly anything, but I can smell this type in the first 20 minutes. Boring from the beginning and the plot was revealed as soon as they discussed the "monster being out"... As soon as I read (yes I'm not Japanese) "He is OUT", I got it, ran here to IMDB and I wasn't wrong. Might be the only "1" in the ratings, but I found it boring and overreacted.

Lovingly detailed and accented by an aching score from Ryuichi Sakamoto, who died in March, Monster is one of the finest films of the year, and its structure - like its circle of characters - carries secrets that can only be unraveled through patience and empathy. By cutting things up and showing us the perils of fractured perspectives, the director, demonstrates that compassion is more than just a natural state of being. This absorbing, ambiguously titled movie builds to a moving finish, one that reaffirms Kore-eda's peerless skill at directing young actors in particular.. My Rating : 8.5/10.

The movie consists of about 3 parts, but only the last part and the first 15 minutes are really watchable. In fact, the whole movie can stand on its own if they had only kept that. It's the old theme of a story with many different misinterpreted perspectives (and finally the true events) which unfold in a fashion where we witness the events again and again from new perspectives, where the misinterpreted perspectives in the end have crucial consequences for the innocent. The movie did have some quirky or interesting scenes about Japanese culture and landscapes, but the school parent/teacher drama in the middle of the movie was excruciatingly boring. I understand the purpose of the movie, and I did like the ending (which by the removed fence implies that they died), but the movie-making abilities fell short of the vision.
