Men (2022)

"Unsubtle and schematic but very well-acted..."

"(Men) fails to earn its intense body-horror finale..."

"Mind-bending..."

"What this movie does have to say, it hammers home to make sure you really don’t miss it."

"Meh-n."

"Men is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, all scrawled in crayon."

"(Men) rarely gets beyond being a mere catalogue of the different ways that guys can be irritating around and dangerous toward women."

"Outstanding."

"Alex Garland once again shows an unmatched ability to conjure a beautifully uneasy atmosphere... but the substance underneath doesn’t quite connect."

"Disorientating and roundly unpredictable..."

"The film is anchored by Buckley, whose performance is fiercely real, a wise move amidst all that blatant symbolism."

"A bloody spectacle that’s absurdly kitsch rather than exhilarating."

"Despite all the broken bones, the graphic deaths, and the copious amounts of blood, the driving idea behind Men is not bold enough to feel frightening."

"Tedious, slow to build and pretentious."

"What a waste of a superb actress."

"Men is a horror film operating largely under nightmare logic... and in a broad sense can’t offer many true surprises..."

"In Men (Garland) skillfully manipulates moods and subverts expectations without achieving the unsettling, hallucinatory clarity of his best films."
