Is it just as sensationalistic as the media it purports to critique? The movie is not without its critics who’d say ‘yes.’ I’m not quite sure where I stand.

Along with Jordan Peele’s " Us" proving the Oscar-winning actor's multiple talents, you should hear her sing "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift here, while (actually) playing ukulele. Even when she’s not displaying an alarmingly tender mezzo-soprano voice, Nyong’o is a life force for “Little Monsters,” cutting through the shrill buffoonery of her male co-leads. The film is an action-thriller spectacle set in a dystopian world. When Boy’s (Bill Skarsgård) family is murdered by the city’s brutal leader, he escapes to the jungle where he is trained by a mysterious shaman for one purpose — to avenge his family and kill the leader. Little Monsters is a 2019 post-apocalyptic musical action comedy horror film written and directed by Abe Forsythe, starring Lupita Nyong'o, Alexander England, Josh Gad, and Kat Stewart. The story centres on a washed-up musician, a children's television personality, and a kindergarten teacher teaming up to protect a group of young schoolchildren during a sudden zombie outbreak. Closed-circuit television (CCTV) at the New Strand Shopping Centre in Bootle on 12 February 1993 showed Thompson and Venables casually observing children, apparently selecting a target. [8] The boys were playing truant from their local primary school, which they did regularly. [9] Throughout the day, Thompson and Venables were seen shoplifting various items, including sweets, batteries, a troll doll, and a can of blue Humbrol modelling paint. [10] One of the boys later revealed that they were planning to abduct a child, lead him to the busy road alongside the shopping centre, and push him into the oncoming traffic. [11]
