More specifically this is Capuchin Shines.
Allan opens the movie and IMMEDIATELY gets into an accident, making him a quadriplegic. Now this is getting on with the movie! His ethically dubious brother donates him a monkey he's been doing experiments on, because why not, but the monkey, Ella, gets rather attached to Allan. Like "I'll kill for you" attached. Surely that can't be a problem.
The poster for this movie has the cymbal banging monkey toy and... this has nothing to do with that. George A. Romero directs this psychological thriller that dare asks who would win: monkey or budgerigar. I can't say I recognise the main actors from anything, but Stephen Root has a neat cameo, and Stanley Tucci is in this, although I didn't recognise him.
I don't know if this is "must see tv" but it is now a movie I have seen.
