Closet Monster (2016)

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Nice piece of work, great soundtrack, gripping storyline. At various points, the reality of the authentic and extraordinary story mixes with the dream or thought world.Intertwined actions develop a dynamic that lets almost all characters appear in the light of guilt and at the same time innocence. Especially between the mother and Oskar exists an untypical, "undercooled" connection, because she consoles with words - no embrace.From many directions, the adolescent boy is required to withstand the tensions, which at a climax when the wooden peg is discovered and then fades out in a melancholy, lonely harmony. Not easy, growing up staged with the farewell of the faithful companion - the hamster.Was rarely so excited. I especially like that the film does not serve a "mainstream". It is neither a superlative movie that saves the whole world, nor does the audience be admonished to morality, but lets digest the upset emotions at the calming ending.

FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I AM AN AVID WATCHER OF GAY MOVIES AND THIS ONE WAS ONE OF THE WORST ONES I'VE EVER SEEN, AND I'VE WATCHED MORE GAY MOVIES THAN YOU CAN COUNT ON BOTH HANDS AND FEET. first off, OK I was like "this is cute OK he got a hamster cause his mom and dad got divorced" BUT THEN WHAT????? THE HAMSTER CAN TALK? THE HELL? WHY? WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING? anyways sorry so then this kid sees a guy get raped in the butt with a pole idk OK. at this point I was like "well alright I guess I'll just keep watching." then from there on it was a downhill spiral of shitty acting, horrible dialogue and "artsy" cinematic devices that were frankly just creepy and not creative at all. OVERALL, that kiss was hot af. that's the only thing I enjoyed throughout the whole movie.also I have a few questions: why the talking hamster? What the hell was the director on and where can I get my hands on it? and Can someone please suggest to me some gay movies that aren't trash?

Another coming of age film for the modern generation that leaves a million unanswered questions and at times is simply confusing. The transitions from the imaginary to real world interaction aren't very well-defined and the characters are simply boring. The 7+ score drew me into watching, but both the wife and I were left disappointed as so many questions were left unanswered. The gratuitous scene towards the end I assume was meant as a metaphor for something, but it failed to make any sense at all. I often wonder if movies like this reflect how America is changing or if filmmakers are simply to lazy to write a decent story. A generous 5 out of 10.

There are some great qualities of this film: The soundtrack is amazing, the cinematography is great, and there are some interesting and unique themes. However I was mostly disappointing with the film.The main character, Oscar, is not particularly likable. He retains the "angsty teen" stereotype without many redeeming qualities to combat it; lots of whining, complaining, etc. On top of this, the storyline is a bit all over the place. There are so many different subplots going on all at once, and they don't exactly mesh together very well. Lots of scenes happen metaphorically, but are displayed literally. In some ways this is very successful, but some it feels either confusing, or too obvious.Overall I wouldn't necessarily suggest this movie, but I did enjoy some moments (the party scene was great).
