What the critics say
Critics say Old Monk is a warm, dialogue-driven family comedy with strong ensemble timing and witty writing, though most note the second half meanders into a one-upmanship subplot.

75
How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 3 readings; 1 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
