Monica

"Monica is a wondrous work in terms of painting with light, in which the select shadows tell their own story."

"Stunning to watch and radiating great depth, (Lysette) carries the film with a graceful dignity."

"Conceived with uncommon sensitivity toward the interior lives of its characters, as well as to the shifting codes of trans representation..."

"There’s a kind of grim rigidity to the film’s vision, a sense that it’s reducing Monica to her trauma."

"This is a beautifully composed piece which often uses silence and touch as its dominant emotions."
