Gorilla

About This Movie

Gorilla (2016) offers a quirky spin on the classic romance-comedy formula, set against the backdrop of 1950s Hollywood. It’s got this offbeat tone with its charmingly absurd premise—Henry Corso, in a gorilla suit, navigating the challenges of both his role and his feelings. The practical effects, though low-budget, have a certain charm that adds to the film's unique flavor. You really get a sense of the era's filmmaking style, which adds to the atmosphere. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but in a way that almost complements the whimsical nature of the story. The performances, especially from the lead, capture that classic comedic timing, making the whole experience quite endearing.
