Canadian director Stephen Dunn’s first work is nothing new in its basic outline. But he weaves witty magical realism elements with adventurous confidence, not to mention his unpredictable but sure method in style and tone, making the film the most fortunate debut. "Closet Monster" has many of the clichés of coming out movies—unsocial children, abnormal parents, fixed girlfriends, attractive new friends—but they rarely perform like this. Dunn, who is only 27 years old, has honed his unique feeling in the creation of short films for nearly ten years. Therefore, he effortlessly plays with a complicated menu here, which contains elements such as whimsical, horror, psychological realism, comedy and tragedy. Aesthetically, the film has also made many bold choices, combining them surprisingly, and the visual and sound design is impressive. Photographer Bobby Shore faced the challenge of the director's free-spirited theme, and the vaguely original retro electronic soundtrack created by Todor Kobakov and Maya Postepski and the editing of the soundtrack by the artists all added excessive musical confidence to the film. Coupled with the first-rate performances he drew from the entire crew, Dunn seems to be a talent to be reckoned with, but it seems unlikely that his appeal will be limited to the main gay audience for a long time   .
