Zippy editing, cool black-and-white photography, an excitingly used classic score and whirling, kooky performances add to this deceptively brainy film's look-at-me fun.

Kill the Monsters is definitely not a film for everyone. The movie's high concept works well in some areas, but falls very flat in other areas ... It's a unique concept that works best if viewers really know U.S. history.

Kill the Monsters surprised me with how it kept me engaged and I didn't actually want it to end. I thoroughly recommend giving it a watch.

7/10

Lonergan incisively and, at times, poetically examines the power play in a polyamorous relationship. He deftly juxtaposes socioeconomic issues with personal ones.

3/5

An experimental movie, a bit of an oddity that's also a strong calling card for actor-filmmaker Lonergan and gifted cinematographer Andrew Huebscher.

Really enjoyed the first 2/3 of the movie. The final 1/3 was disappointing.
