Aug 19, 2013 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.

Hot, sure, for the sex and cold for the flowers of deceit. See more Oct 2, 2010 Monkey meet Claire of the Moon. See more Apr 13, 2010 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. See more Feb 16, 2009 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 See more Read all reviews
