    Men 2022

    ★★★★ Watched by Thomas 04 Aug 2022

    So absurdly on the nose and yet pretty intricate and interpretable at the same time. Beautifully shot​,​ but there were so many instances in which I had to cover the screen. I had an awful time watching large swaths of this and yet I was ​fully ​engrossed.

    ​I have very contradictory feelings, but I liked it overall. Fantastic sound design too.

    I'm kinda pissed at Alex Garland for suddenly switching from sci-fi to harrowing psychological horror without giving me proper warning, I was not prepared.

    The kind of movie that needs a few watches and maybe an explanation video or two on YouTube before you fully appreciate it. Not one of Alex Garland’s best, and it’s definitely polarizing, but there is still a lot to love and appreciate in just how outside the box he is as a writer/director.

    That's was quite a ride!
    A movie part folk-horror, part body-horror, part home invasion which talks about being a woman in a world where men just cannot be trusted.

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    Alex Garland trying to tell us misogynistic traits are passed down from man to man in a very weird way. Straightforward symbolism of "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" shown with the tree in the yard. But lots of craziness in between. Felt a bit like Hot Fuzz with the teleporting villagers.

    Cinematography and Score were beautiful. It also had a VERY interesting final act......
    The storytelling was just sloppy and very cliché, but the idea was there.

    This is definitely a vibe flick. I don’t think it quite delivered in the end but I enjoyed the first half’s folk horror and the body horror at the end. I just really don’t know what to make of the whole production though. If you liked Mother? You might dig this. I will say though Alex Garland had a vision and I’ve loved his past efforts so I’m glad he gets to keep making weird stuff like this with a vision.

    Let’s face it, I was going to love this movie regardless. Garland hasn’t made a bad one yet!

    Truly, honestly, genuinely, what the fuck? My only theory is that the ending sequence is a metaphor for the infantile motivations behind every abusive man’s actions. Violent, psychosexual, obsessive, matronising her against her will; such is the mind of every abusive man. And just as in the movie, they are all the same. The significance of biblical imagery throughout is more than apparent, as in all feminine horror movies gaslighting is a current running through this movie, driving it. I…
