Tara Brady Irish Times An appropriately monstrous hit with audiences at London’s Sundance and Dublin’s Horrorthon festivals, this is not quite a fairy tale, but it comes close enough to cast a spell. Rated: 4/5 Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) I absolutely loved it. Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Caroline Lindy’s feature debut is a droll, if uneven blend of comedy, romance, fantasy and horror that relies heavily on the off-the-charts chemistry between Barrera and Dewey, who manages to convince as a charismatic romantic lead. Rated: 3/5 Dec 3, 2024 Full Review Denise Zubizarreta LatinaMedia.Co Women aren’t just taught to suppress their anger, we’re also taught to fear our wants. And this movie plays with that beautifully. Her connection with the monster isn’t just about rage, it’s about passion. Rated: A- Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Clotilde Chinnici Movies We Texted About Your Monster works really well as a magical realism film with successful elements of romance and comedy. It is a feel-good film that manages to be very funny but also particularly emotional, with a unique and memorable tone. Jul 26, 2025 Full Review Cody Allen InSession Film Bottom line: If you’re looking for a rom-com that’s equal parts charming, hilarious, and a little spooky, Your Monster is your new obsession. Rated: A Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Nat It was weird and I loved that about it.. lol Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/21/25 Full Review TMM A delightfully charming film. Melissa Barrera and Tommy Dewey are wonderful in their roles, and showcase excellent chemistry. I am unsure how I feel about the ending. It could be brilliant or disappointing. I will decide after my second viewing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review hazelsbite This was a cute love yourself beauty and the beast movie. The ending was a little confusing but after it sinks in you realize the beast is the part of yourself that gets angry at not being loved the right way. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review KL This was better than Beauty & the Beast😁. I'm glad I found it. Might have enjoyed it more as a series, but good dark fun Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Latte Melissa Barrera should be nominated for every award ever Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review monica f Sooo good!! I loved the costumes and movie twist!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
