- Monkey See! Monkey Review!!21. September 2025If you’re a fan of Aubrey Plaza, chances are you’ll appreciate Black Bear. TLDR -> Black Bear isn’t a horror thriller in the traditional sense, but it’s thrilling in its own way—through discomfort, ambiguity, and emotional complexity. Plaza brings her signature awkward intensity to the role—some might argue she plays variations of the same character across her films, but here, that familiar persona works in her favor. Her performance is compelling and layered, even if it feels like an extension of her usual screen presence. What truly defines this film is the tension—woven through nearly every scene in multiple forms. First, there’s the genre ambiguity: is this a horror movie or something else entirely? Then comes the simmering unease between the couple hosting Plaza’s character, a dynamic that feels charged and unpredictable. Add to that a layer of sexual tension that’s deliberately uncomfortable, making you question what’s appropriate while still being drawn into the moment. Finally, there’s the cerebral tension: trying to piece together how the first and second halves of the film relate to each other. Watching it feels like being the awkward third wheel in a room full of unresolved conflict. It’s a film that invites multiple viewings; I watched it three times and still found myself puzzling over its structure and meaning. Despite that, or maybe because of it, I highly recommend it. Whatever Black Bear is truly about, it delivers a unique and memorable cinematic experience.
