The acting in this film, was fantastic. Halle Berry's performance ... amazing. The storyline is good, visuals above avergage. I just wish it were a little bit more relateable. Besides that good film, check it out.... Full review

Halle Berry exploitation flick, and that's it.

This movie, simply isn't a good one. This is an exercise in taking one of LA's most beautiful actresses.. and one that had previous not had this sort of intense sex scenes (let's expose this movie for what it is)... and... Full review

I wasn't sure about it when I first saw it. But now I could watch it again and again. I understand the point of the sex scene between Hank(Billy Bob) and Leticia(Halle). It is the turning point. The movie pivots on... Full review

What is up with this movie?! I would personally love to take away Halle Berry's Oscar and give it to an actress that deserves it more. The sex scenes were uncalled for! Billy Bob Thorton was awful. The story was fair,... Full review

The 2.35:1 widescreen 1080p is quite strong for a film with an intentionally dull palette.....Heath Ledger adds an aimless despair to this character....A thesping tour de force no doubt about it and one of the best pictures of 2001 (Ebert actually claimed it his best picture of '01).....The pic gets a new DTS HD Master mix that works fine for a mostly dialogue-driven film.....There's not much visually interesting about rural Georgia and the general ambiance of the film doesn't exactly scream for high-def... ...

The themes of Monster's Ball are handled originally in a sexually graphic, often intense but strangely serene drama.....Thornton, recently outstanding in The Man Who Wasn't There, is once again extraordinarily expressive.....Monster's Ball is an unusual, rewarding film..... ... Full Review

Director Marc Forster's incisive and difficult film "Monster's Ball" features not only some of the best performances of the year (from Billy Bob Thornton, Halle Berry and Peter Boyle) but also one of the best scripts. The only criticism I have of this film (and this may not be entirely fair) has to do with Halle Berry's appearance. ... Full Review

MONSTER'S BALL is a well-acted, well-meaning mess.....He was half right.....it compensated by flinging so much misery at the main characters, we are forced not to consider the inconsistencies of the story....Peter Boyle, who, in keeping with the other performers, is masterful in a slow, malignant performance.... ...

Oh, but this is a magical film, one that transports us not only to another, more delightful, place and time -- an Edwardian England that's slightly idealized, heightened in its charm and refinement -- but to within the vivid flights of fancy of a writer whose fantastical inventions -- Neverland, Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Tinkerbell -- continue to mesmerize us and speak to us today, a century later. ...
