The Monk Reviews
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
What repulsed Coleridge in the novel clearly amuses the French director Dominik Moll in his diverting if somewhat thin adaptation.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
A work whose elegant atmospherics ultimately overwhelm the story, even with the terrific Vincent Cassel in the title role.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
By the end, "The Monk" has revealed itself to be a too- predictable potboiler, served piping hot.
Chicago Sun-Times
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
"The Monk" is, first and foremost, a classy B-movie, keen to offer Gothic atmosphere, nudity, and mild shocks.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
A beautiful-looking film that portends disaster. And disaster arrives, eventually. It just takes its time getting there.
Slant Magazine
Tina Hassannia
Dominik Moll never addresses Matthew Gregory Lewis's original groundbreaking ideas in The Monk, nor does he rework the material for a contemporary audience.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Not bad for a robe-ripper along the lines of The Thorn Birds, but Diary of a Country Priest it ain't.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
The finale, in which godly rites are juxtaposed against the vilest of sins, builds to an unholy power.
Hollywood Reporter
Bernard Besserglik
Adaptation of gothic classic pleases the eye but ultimately disappoints.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
This is a fascinating character study about spirituality and religious responsibility that smartly doesn't take its more melodramatic elements very seriously.
Oregonian
Marc Mohan
Not to be mistaken for a serious treatment of religious fervor or clerical corruption, "The Monk" is instead a knowingly over-the-top bit of gothic nuttiness.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
It's garish and crazy (and in French), so it's probably not for everyone. But I can't imagine anyone getting bored.
Projected Figures
Anton Bitel
A strange morality drama with its own unique mood, The Monk comes defrocked of its own shock, demanding that viewers bring their own Satan.
