Review For The Monk
A work whose elegant atmospherics ultimately overwhelm the story, even with the terrific Vincent Cassel in the title role. Sheri Linden-Los Angeles Times What repulsed Coleridge in the novel clearly amuses the French director Dominik Moll in his diverting if somewhat thin adaptation. Manohla Dargis-New York Times By the end, "The Monk" has revealed itself to be a too- predictable potboiler, served piping hot. Soren Anderson-Seattle Times If only director Dominik Moll (who has clearly studied his Luis Buñuel) had not staged this bitter psychological horror story at half speed. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune A beautiful-looking film that portends disaster. And disaster arrives, eventually. It just takes its time getting there. Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic Not bad for a robe-ripper along the lines of The Thorn Birds, but Diary of a Country Priest it ain't. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader Dominik Moll never addresses Matthew Gregory Lewis's original groundbreaking ideas in The Monk, nor does he rework the material for a contemporary audience. Tina Hassannia-Slant Magazine Not to be mistaken for a serious treatment of religious fervor or clerical corruption, "The Monk" is instead a knowingly over-the-top bit of gothic nuttiness. Marc Mohan-Oregonian It's garish and crazy (and in French), so it's probably not for everyone. But I can't imagine anyone getting bored. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press There's always room for another adaptation of Matthew Lewis's 1795 scandal-igniting ur-Gothic novel, and this lavish French turn positively seethes with the strain of Christian sex-dread and debauchery. Michael Atkinson-Time Out New York Moll's careful direction ensures a balance of the supernatural and the temporal - Ambrosio could either be seen as a victim of demonic forces within his own monastery or the sole architect of his moral downfall. Mary Clare Waireri-Fan The Fire Vincent Cassel does his utmost to make his character intense and compelling, but negligible character development means he fails to hold our interest. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] All talk, no action, The Monk looks good but is weighed down by the Catholic guilt it's trying to critique. -Film4 Studded with lovely painterly images, but ends up feeling cramped and stagey. Andrew Osmond-SFX Magazine The movie broods like nobody's business, setting us up for a temptingly black slab of cassocks-off ecclesiastical depravity. Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph A rather dull offering - tasteful horror for the carriage trade. Philip French-Observer [UK] If it weren't for The Cabin in the Woods we'd call it the most disappointing denouement of the year. Tara Brady-Irish Times
