A psychological thriller that has the ability to leave no one indifferent, something that makes one of the pearls to discover this year and a future cult title. [Full review in Spanish]

Sort of a horror film, but not really. It's too funny to be categorized that way.

Closet Monster is most successful when it uses fable-like qualities to allow us to feel Oscar's emotions viscerally rather than narratively.

If Dunn can direct his next work with more considered distance from his characters, he has a great future as an inventive and assured film director.

Somehow that revolutionary, empowering message never got through to Dunn. His film seems sexually and psychologically arrested in the pathology that blocks coming out.

One way to tell a promising director is by the acting in his or her film, and the performances in "Closet Monster" are solid all the way around, no matter how small the role.

A film school thesis project that somehow found its way into general release.

If you didn't think a hamster voiced by Isabella Rossellini could make you cry, think again.

It's when Stephen Dunn dares to inhabit the how and not the what of queerness that the film feels authentic and deliciously strange.

It's nothing less than an emotional exorcism.
September 23, 2016
The determined eccentricity of the entire conceit-liberally laced with moments of hallucinatory surrealism-weighs the movie down, creating an airless ambiance at odds with any youthful verve which might appeal to the viewer.

Dunn plays around with perspective and style, but all the flash doesn't obscure the film's emotion and heart, which are deep and true.
