Review of Men

Men (2022)
6/10
Lots of discussion long after it's finished.
16 June 2022
This film sets out exactly what it's meant to do. Some will say it's trying to be too clever, some won't get it and some say it's too obvious.

I enjoyed this film but I particularly enjoyed (and still enjoy) the discussion with friends after viewing.

I would say go in with an open mind. Every set piece, dialogue, image etc, I think, is deliberate and has meaning. Although your perception may vary from mine but I think that's the beauty of it.

Not Garland's strongest but will be widely misunderstood and judged because of the ending and the choices he made. Personally I liked the ending, it generated a lot of interesting discussion regarding what it could have meant.

Keep an open mind and pay attention to everything!
