Audience Member What could have been an interesting spin on film noir is torpedoed by awkward performances, flat, self-serious direction, bad narration, and pages and pages of even worse poetry. It's hard to tell which poems were intentionally bad, and which ones were just plain bad. Those poor actors. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member w.t.f the first time girl on girl action managed to revolt. ok correction, the "married professor" was hardly a girl. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A film hot and cold. Hot, sure, for the sex and cold for the flowers of deceit.

Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Echos the traditions of a film noir. Susie Porter plays private investigator Jill Fitzpatrick hired to find clues to the murder of a young girl who(at the time) went to poetry sessions. Porter's character falls in love with a suspect (Kelly McGillis) who happens to be a teacher of poetry. The film has a decent amount of titilation but the narrative stays together and I really admired Susie Porter's performance. "The Monkey's Mask" sort of drags and sometimes the film does feel like it wants to focus more on titilation rather then the heart of the story and it's characters. Nonetheless, TM'sM is not a long film and goes by fast, it's shot really well and for what it's worth, kept me somewhat interested. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member an interesting and low key film based on the book of poems by Dorothy Porter, about the murder of a young female poet. Susie Porter and Kelly McGillis have little rapport in their love scenes together but this adds to the mistrust between their characters. The twist at the end was reasonable enough Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
