(...) while McKellar and Litz definitely have some nice chemistry, the movie feels a little too disjointed, and not always intentionally; characters like the smug yuppies Wright works for come across as lazily drawn caricatures. This grainy, low-budget feature’s ambitions and intentions are definitely admirable, but they don’t quite add up to a solid movie.

Construit exclusivement autour des trois personnages, MONKEY WARFARE évite de faire avaler au spectateur une conclusion tracée d'avance. Le film, bien rythmé, pourrait être relativement indigeste s'il se prenait au sérieux. Or, les situations comme les personnages ne sont dénuées ni d'humour ni d'intelligence.

(...) the film was shot in 12 days, guerrilla style, because of a lack of financial support due to its revolutionary content. It was filmed in T-O with a crew of 12 and a cube van that served as production office/transportation/green room, and no one really got paid. It was a personal labour of love. (...) Interestingly, the film explores a generation gap I hadn't really thought of before; the one between activists of the '60s and '70s and activists today. While Dan and Linda paired their extreme actions with a conviction that things could improve, Susan comes at it from a more defeatist angle.

Deep-dyed deadpan MONKEY WARFARE reps an above-average entry in the Canadian cinematic tradition of loser comedy. Hapless protags are two 40-ish bicycle-riding, dumpster-diving bohos whose off the grid lifestyle attracts a youngster with more aggressively radical ideas. A bit idiosyncratic and anecdotal to get far theatrically, this third feature for writer-director Reg Harkema (A Girl IS A GIRL,BETTER OFF IN BED) should make some friends on the fest circuit and in niche rentals. (...) Laconic off-kilter humor is well worked out on all levels of the production.

Ensemble depuis une quinzaine d'années, Dan et Linda (Don McKellar et Tracy Wright, couple à la ville comme à l'écran) vivotent à Toronto où ils revendent sur Internet tout ce qu'ils trouvent dans les poubelles et les ventes de garage. Leur existence paisible est bientôt menacée lorsque entre en scène une sexy revendeuse de cannabis bio de leur Vancouver natale (...) dont le passe-temps est de mettre le feu aux VUS. Comédie satirique bavarde, modeste et sympathique de Reginald Harkema, MONKEY WARFARE séduit par ses amusantes références à LA CHINOISE de Godard, son irrésistible trame sonore des années 60 et 70 concoctée par DJ Hans Lucas (...) et son trio de comédiens joyeusement en forme.
