One night, on a nondescript street corner in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, anunarmed black man is killed after an altercation with police officers.This act of violence is central to MONSTERS AND MEN, but only as thestarting point for a nuanced investigation into the ripples thatcourse through a tight-knit neighborhood in wake of yet anothercontroversial police intervention. Green takes a story that we've,sadly, heard all too often in recent years, and explodes it, creatingnew opportunities to confront our own prejudices and assumptions headon. MONSTERS AND MEN is an essential artistic attempt to reckon withone of the central challenges of our moment.BBFC: 15
