Review of Monster's Ball (2001) by Dan S — 25 Dec 2008
A solid movie concerning a prison guard looking to rid himself of his father's feelings and practices that he's put into place in his own life. This film is full of rich performances, especially from Thornton, Berry, Ledger, and a scene-stealing Boyle.
What keeps it from being a great movie is that it feels too disaster-prone at times, pretty much anything that can go wrong WILL go wrong, but that doesn't keep it from being a good character study.
