Relevant to the current political climate, a film about otherness and how outsiders are persecuted, and monsters are created, through an unwillingness to empathize. This film not only works as an entertaining creature feature, but also as an allegory for the civil rights movement. The beauty of the cinematography/staging alone is worth the price of a ticket; and while some of the scenes feel on the nose in its message, there is enough heart to illustrate the lasting impact people can have if they take the time to listen to the voiceless, and the commonalities we find in doing so. (8/10)
