"Melissa Barrera's Unlikely Romance with a Monstrous Twist: A 'Your Monster' Review"

TL;DR Summary
"Your Monster" is a revenge rom-com featuring Melissa Barrera as Laura Franco, a cancer survivor dealing with a series of unfortunate events, including a douchebag ex-boyfriend and a monster living in her closet. The film, directed by Caroline Lindy, explores themes of empowerment and revenge but struggles to maintain its tone, leading to an unhinged final act and a questionable conclusion. Despite a strong performance by Barrera, the film's ambitious genre blending ultimately falls short, leaving the audience with unanswered questions.
