A detective interrogates a talking monkey that is suspected of murder.

Brad Newsome

Sydney Morning Herald

Beneath the absurdity and non-sequiturs there's an emotional weight to the elliptical back story, and the monkey's wonderfully expressive face -- guilty, agitated, rueful -- suits the piece perfectly.

If you are a David Lynch fan you absolutely need to go see What Did Jack Do.

No more than an exercise in style -- but what distinctive style.

Rated: 4/5

Lola On Film

As if Bogart himself rose from the dead, got hammered, and dictated his heartfelt last will and testament in cinema-speak to a no-nonsense bartender just before closing time.

Rated: 5/5

Casey's Movie Mania

Shot in a scratchy black-and-white reminiscent of the 1940s film noir, the bizarre idea of featuring a suspect in the form of a talking capuchin monkey is pure David Lynch.

Rated: 3.5/5

Classic David Lynch and a must-see for all Lynch lovers. From now on every movie must feature a monkey singing a love song to a chicken.

This is entertaining from start to finish. It’s everything a David Lynch fan could hope for crammed into 17 minutes.

Cool! Who says "total nonsense" surely have no clue of what a Lynch work is or should be. I found it very curious and interesting. A classic Lynch-mindfuck.

This movie actually sucks. I don't find anything redeemable about Lynch's style anymore. Also I only watched 3 minutes of the film and I usually have no idea what I'm talking about, but I am encouraged to believe that this type of shit is random in the most non-logical, unenjoyable/non-provocative type of way. Really didn't impress me.
