THE MONITOR stars Noomi Rapace as Anna, a mother who is in hiding in order to keep her son safe from his abusive father. This all seems straightforward, but it's not.
Anna may be suffering from some severe mental issues that cloud the situation dramatically. Much of what occurs could be real or illusory. We're given pieces of the puzzle, only to have the puzzle itself continue to expand.
This film has an icy sense of dread and uneasiness right out of the gate. Anna lives in an enormous, box-like apartment complex set in a terminally grey atmosphere of heavy, perpetual gloom.
Ms. Rapace is fantastic in her harried, paranoiac role. She elicits both sympathy and a touch of fear from the viewer.
If you enjoy suspenseful, psychological-thrillers filled with mystery, then this should keep you guessing until the end...
