“Editor Nicholas Monsour (Nope) creates a rhythm and pace that are distinctive for Elwood and Turner and become hyper-subjective and immersive for the audience.”
- IndieWire, 11/5/24

“(Nickel Boys is) a film of equal daring and intensity, buoyed by expressive, shallow-focus cinematography by Jomo Fray (All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt), pinpoint-precise editing by Nicholas Monsour (Nope), and deeply felt supporting performances from Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Hamish Linklater, and Daveed Diggs.”
- NYFF, 7/22/24

“My editor is Nick Monsour, he’s the guy I worked with in Us. He’s just a brilliant guy and a brilliant collaborator.”
- Jordan Peele, Collider 6/20/22

“Us is a solid step up technically […] aided by evocative lensing from the talented Mike Gioulakis (It Follows, Split), and Nicholas Monsour’s tack-sharp editing, which really comes into its own in the film’s head-trip of a third act.”
- Flickering Myth, 3/23/19
