19 Absolutely Life-Changing Movies From This Year That Not A Lot Of People Have Seen
“Your Monster is, by far, my favorite movie of 2024. It’s about a woman named Laura whose playwright boyfriend dumps her while she’s in the middle of receiving cancer treatment. Tearfully, she moves back into her childhood home, learns there’s a monster living in her closet, and they learn how to coexist as roommates. At the same time, she also finds out that the musical that she and her ex wrote together (for her to star in) is being greenlit and he had no intention of casting her. Then, Monster convinces Laura to audition, and things get so juicy! It’s not super scary but still has some spooky elements to it, which I loved. Your Monster is basically like if you took Phantom of the Opera and combined it with Beauty and the Beast and set it in 2024 — and the theater kid in me ate it up. Melissa Barrera is phenomenal, and without giving too much away, Tommy Dewey is so much more charming than I ever expected a hairy, scary monster to be. Honestly, I could talk about this movie for hours, just do yourself a favor and watch it.”
