Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
From the author of Edward Scissorhands and The Nightmare Before Christmas, this bizarre movie is based on the true story of 1920s New York socialite and eccentric animal lover Gertrude Lintz, played by Rene Russo. Lintz loves animals and fills her estate and mansion with all sorts of beloved creatures, including the gorilla of the title which she treats as her own son, literally. She dresses him in human clothes and even teaches him table manners. However, she soon learns that when a 500 pound gorilla starts to misbehave, not even the Barbara Woodhouse method can bring it under control and she realises she must part with her precious friend.
