Monster (out May 9) won the best screenplay award at last year's Cannes Film Festival and is an excellent drama told from three different perspectives - a concerned mother, a conflicted teacher, and a confused child. As each plot point is peeled back, another is revealed. Great approach with stellar performances. Grade: A-.
