Monsters

"Monsters" is a rather special achievement. Think of it as a movie that M. Night Shyamalan (and we) would be happy he made. (...) Edwards is brilliant at evoking the awe and beauty he has been building toward (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)" 

"Although the vérité aesthetics of Monsters will invite comparisons to Cloverfield and District 9, what galls most is the infuriating lack of purpose beyond its backdrop" 

"By audaciously turning inside out the narrative conventions of traditional sci-fi thrillers about extraterrestrial invaders, 'Monsters' offers a uniquely satisfying entertainment" 

"What brings Monsters down from its extremely low perch is a conspicuous lack of monstrosity (...) together with the vacuousness of the hero and heroine"
