Men

queer-giraffe shared a tip "enjoyed this very much. As an experience it's wonderful. The perfect movie to show friends and bring to a horror movie night. It's a really fun watch. The filmmaking is top tier, the performances are great, and there's full-frontal male nudity. It's awesome."

Garbagehands shared a tip "I had high hopes for this movie..it did not deliver. This story was so bad and I think it even missed its own point! Also one of the scene that I think was supposed to be serious made me laugh out loud in the theater. Okay it wasn’t all bad there where so interesting ideas and scenes but they are few and far between."

RicoLoveDinero shared a tip "I’ve been wanting to see this film for a while now. I went into this with expectations which I usually don’t ever do. Just to be very disappointed in the totality of the film. This wasn’t “𝗘𝘅-𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮” or even “𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻” both which at least had a fairly orchestrated plot. Yes I understand most men aren’t sh*t but I think women already know this. Yes toxic masculinity is a thing that’s done by weak men. I could never in life be like any of these men depicted in this film"

raniab shared a tip "This is the most disturbing (and not in a good way) movie. It is eerie, annoying and unnecessary (freaky) images at the end of the movie. I get the gist of the movie but this was utterly painful to watch. I’m a woman and I think it’s wrong to generalize by naming the movie Men."

nostalgiaqueen shared a tip "What in the actual trauma corn 🌽 was this nightmare. Really lost me at the birthing metaphor, take the L respectfully and yes I understood it, it just sucked booooooo 🤣"

damien_scott shared a tip "Garland can definitely create beautiful films and the tension is real here at the beginning. His past works were more my pace with the writing. This loses me by the end. Jessie Buckley is awesome. Garland is awesome but this one isn’t for me."

keenan_duke shared a tip "I like Alex Garland but this one fell flat on its face for me, which hurts me to say. The cinematography is beautiful as you usually get with his films and the acting is great, it’s just that the story didn’t quite hit. Felt like it was trying way too hard by the end of the film to hammer home its point. Not a terrible miss by Garland, but a miss nonetheless."

kristina_barnes_7201 shared a tip "The plot of this movie is very hard to understand without an ending explained video... Most A24 movies have a plot that can be confusing, but followable. However, I found this movie to be incomprehensible..."

aaron_7939 shared a tip "Not what I was expecting or suspecting, and that carries a horror all it's own. May be a bit too surreal for some viewers. I enjoyed the oddity factor of some of the scenes and how each character was introduced throughout. I think the playback of the trauma that triggered the main character's experience falls flat and could've been present throughout without such a deliberate method, like Annihilation succeeded in doing. 3/5 stars."

TheEternalMovieWatcher467 shared a tip "There was a lot of beautiful shots. I also really enjoyed the tunnel scene. I thought it was a really grounded and simple sort of movie. I enjoyed that it doesn’t really have a over the top story. Just someone dealing with their own demons. It gets really weird at the end though it doesn’t take away anything just thought it was unnecessary still enjoyed it though. No matter how weird it got"

gracenh shared a tip "Never felt worse in my entire life! In the best way possible. Filled with a guttural, primal, and existential terror! I resent womanhood as it’s seen by society! Hell yeah!"

monte_cresbrooke shared a tip "Very emotional, in love with the metaphors. I feel like a lot of people didn’t get the movie/didn’t want to. But this touches on so many women’s topics, all in a very theatrical way. 100% worth a rewatch."

brink shared a tip "i liked it- i think? it was probably one of the weirdest movies i’ve seen in a while and i truly had no idea what to expect so i can’t really say whether or not it delivered. it was certainly a mindfuck and that last like half hour or so is insane. lots of metaphors and it seems to be trying to be a liiiiitle more deep than it really was and it came off a little like the witch (which i didn’t like) so not sure i’d recommend it but i wouldn’t dissuade someone from giving it a shot."

quinten_perkins shared a tip "Another knockout home run in my eyes for this director who is quickly making a name as one of the best in the trade alive, or otherwise. Some of the incredibly gorgeous cinematography of this film will stick with me for the rest of my life (and some of the disturbing nightmare fuel as well). The lead gives a standing ovation-worthy performance, expertly navigating a slew of emotional extremes, heavy themes and biting social commentary like one of the greats. Bravo!"

lindsey_robb shared a tip "So creepy, you really get enveloped in the atmosphere in this one, and a nice little dose of body horror. One of those that I think you could watch several times and discover something new with each watch."

valentine_guts shared a tip "i loved this. i think Alex Garland is a modern day gem of a filmmaker. cinematography was eerie and beautiful. a very lonely, empty-feeling setting. the tone was unnerving and confusing and frustrating. i applaud Garland for tackling the theme of this and doing such a great job with it. it’s definitely more of an art house horror, so if your thing is mainstream slashers and gore ****, you probably won’t like this. also, Jessie Buckley is a freaking vision and i love seeing her act."

gregory_pool shared a tip "Men was entertaining for the full runtime. After a couple days of digestion though the female lead was under developed which does not help the thesis. Stuff just sort of happens to her and you don’t get a feeling much about her as a character. However, worth a watch for the stellar acting all around!"

trent_ledford shared a tip "I didn’t know what to expect with this film but I came out of it really liking it for the cinematography, weird story and music. I suggest this film but this might be a hit or miss. Watch this film if you like films similar to Mother!"

carol_8166 shared a tip "Jumping Geezus on a diving board this was ******* awful ... But I feel like they nailed the violent, antagonistic, mewling NOTALLMEN!! crowd perfectly. ****** A24. Yuck."

christinakelton shared a tip "A beautiful film with a wonderful soundtrack. Visually interesting. A gripping story about the pervasive nature of toxic masculinity, how it perpetuates itself and makes victims of us all, preventing a harmony between the masculine and the feminine."

lena_sydonie shared a tip "The first part of this movie is absolutely great! I love the tension, but towards the end it get really weird and even though I think it had a great resolution I think this one is decently not for everyone…"

sarah_anthony_9826 shared a tip "I don't know if I would say I actually liked this film. It was interesting. Definitely not the best work by this director but possibly the weirdest. Personally, I enjoy nuance and symbolism in my horror but this is more....(spoiler alert)....all men are the same person kind of thing."

anthony_muni shared a tip "Alex Garland returns in top form for his first film since Annihilation. Exceptional performances from Jessie Buckley and Rory Kinnear. Visually striking with elements of body horror - the audio is also a stand out in the film. A timely story of the pervasive nature of toxic masculinity and the ever present dangers women face in everyday life."

james_johnson_2142 shared a tip "Bruh, I honestly don’t know how anyone could say they liked this movie. Unless you’re a prestigious art snob, this movie is not for you. Literally the climax of the film is a rolling birth scene (I.e a dude gives birth to himself like 5 times and you see every disgusting moment, even down to the time when he birthed himself out of a ****** on his back). Sure the cinematography was wonderful but that doesn’t make up for the latter half of the film. Would not recommend."

jen_mcbride_7760 shared a tip "I love A24 films. I was not sure how I felt after watching this. I was confused, like I really missed some deep meaning. The birthing part was truly strange and I just kept asking myself wtf. So if you can explain what I missed, that would be awesome."

wheezy shared a tip "loved this movie haven’t been to the theaters in years, definitely worth going to see it. if you’re sensitive to gore and abuse id skip this movie. I’m usually pretty good with gore but this movie made me squirm in my seat at certain parts. love A24 movies"

eerievalerie shared a tip "A very wild ride filled with imagery and metaphors on the patriarchy, toxic masculinity and religion/sins! Quite creepy and gory, with great special effects and a lot of thought in the details. The acting is also amazing! Not your usual horror movie, there are quite a bit of long sequences with no dialogues. You’ll be left collecting your thoughts and feelings. A theme that will especially haunt women, and seems all too familiar and uncomfortable… Content warning: - Domestic abuse (physical and mental, including gaslighting) - Suicide - Strong body gore - Full frontal nudity - Religious themes and talks of sin & religious guilt - Animal carcass - Stalking - Pregnancy and birth"

rachel_avery_2485 shared a tip "It's not by any means perfect, and the message is not clear, by the director's admission. But I found a lot I'd like to back to and mull over. For me, that's a win. If you like a tidy experience and a clearly represented message, this might not be your jam."
