'Epic'
#MonkeyMan is an absolutely epic action drama from the glorious mind of Dev Patel. He tells an emotionally charged well layered story in the action genre which completely changes the game in terms of cultural representation for India in Hollywood.

'Fantastic'
#MonkeyMan a mostly fantastic action drama with incredible visuals & superb editing. Has slightly uneven writing & English dialogues that feel unnatural in an Indian setting. But, most importantly, it’s not just a bloody action film but a political statement.

'Soulful Action-Thriller'
Dev Patel debuted with something so much more profound and cathartic than I could have expected with #MonkeyMan. There was so much felt and said. Deeply soulful action-thriller. I am so excited to see what else he directs but I’m even more excited to see him do action again! pic.twitter.com/RnAG0SgW3i

'Terrific'
A terrific directorial debut from Dev Patel. I was surprised to see that almost half of the film was in Hindi and was subtitled. Loved the use of cuss words 😆, felt an Anurag Kashyap vibe. Outstanding long action sequences in the middle and at the end. Dev Patel 🫡🫡 pic.twitter.com/8xcz8N97ui
