'Monos' follows a group of child soldiers in the jungles of Colombia — and this sureal, hallucinogenic war movie will haunt you for weeks. Our four-star review
uel. But there’s a specific, singular madness that this movie conjures up that’s completely its own, a spell it casts that goes way beyond homages or spot-the-reference pastiches. You can get lost in the surreal beauty that Landes and his collaborators bring to this tale; a handful of breathtaking shots, ranging from a purple flare arcing across a skyline at dusk to a firefight filtered through night-vision goggles, will cause you to gasp aloud and/or haunt you for weeks.
For every scene in which the group is forced to run drills whenever the barking, swaggering Messenger swings by , there are a half dozen other moments in which these adolescents make out with each other, dance around campfires, and generally behave like unruly teens at a basement party. When an ambush forces them to move their basecamp, it’s initially just a change of scenery — welcome to the jungle, we’ve got new fun and games.
