As for myself, as Leticia rejoined Hank in the last shot of the movie, I was thinking about her as deeply and urgently as about any movie character…

Though marred by script that telegraphs its messages, this drama still manages to tell a compelling love story betweenn a redneck guard and…

Review of Monster's Ball (2001)

Review of Monster's Ball (2001)

By Jeffrey Overstreet (498) for Looking Closer (416) on 06 Dec 2004

Review of Monster's Ball (2001)

By Desson Thomson (1,673) for Washington Post (9,851) on 19 Oct 2004

Review of Monster's Ball (2001)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 12 Sep 2004

Review of Monster's Ball (2001)

By Maitland Mcdonagh (2,150) for TV Guide Magazine (2,375) on 20 Jun 2003

The film's elliptical character development sometimes renders the actors' work opaque; restraint is an underpracticed virtue, but even it can…

Review of Monster's Ball (2001)

By Caroline Westbrook (97) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 02 Mar 2003

Forster's poised direction, as well as powerful turns from Billy Bob Thornton and the Oscar-winning Halle Berry, make this compelling viewing…
