Men is the third film by Alex Garland it is a cabin in the woods style Thriller that doubles as an allegory for the feminine experience. Anchored by incredible performances by Jessie Buckley and Rory Kinnear the first half of the movie is a taut Thriller that utilizes performance cinematography and Sinister score to great effect. However It ultimately falls apart in the third act and turns into an esoteric cautionary Tale that abandons narrative.
Ultimately the incredible performances by its stars and its effective tone Does nothing to save it from its bombastic last 20 minutes. Alex Garland decides to abandon the narrative for shock and awe. and I think this ultimately makes it fall flat. 6 out of 10
