In the aftermath of a personal tragedy, Harper (Jessie Buckley) retreats alone to the beautiful English countryside, hoping to have found a place to heal. But someone or something from the surrounding woods appears to be stalking her. What begins as simmering dread becomes a fully-formed nightmare, inhabited by her darkest memories and fears in visionary filmmaker Alex Garland's (Ex Machina, Annihilation) feverish, shape-shifting new horror film.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

If its narrative and thematic reach sometimes exceeds its grasp, magnetic performances from a stellar cast help Men make the most of its horror provocations.

Audience Says

Men might satisfy film fans comfortable with a lot of ambiguity and heavy symbolism, but for many others, it'll be hard to see the point.

While Men is flawed and ultimately a little unsatisfying, there’s no denying that it is a singular, bold and stimulating film that challenges you in every way – that’s what Alex Garland does best.

Rated: 3/5

The Age (Australia)

Garland is an assured storyteller... That track record makes it possible to believe for much of Men that he knows what he’s doing -- even if thematically the film feels like an over-familiar mash-up of a couple of current trends.

Rated: 3/5

The Australian

The good news is that this film, written and directed by English novelist and filmmaker Alex Garland, is something utterly weird and completely different.

Rated: 3.5/5

...the performances from Jessie Buckley and Rory Kinnear are incredible. If this was meant to be an experimental acting showcase for the two, this was a job well done.

Rated: 3/5

The Curb

Men is unlikely to find any kind of broad audience, but for those who do see it there is a chance the film will never quite leave them.

It is another example of expressionist horror, which depicts real life fears such as racism in “Master” (2022) and aging in “Relic” (2020) as if they are supernatural so viewers can become submerged in the protagonist’s subjective horror

Esther C I hated the last scene. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/20/22 Full Review Stuart R Majority of this movie; first couple acts or so, I was like "Buy it on blu-ray, one of the best films of the year", and then I get to the last act and I'm like "Wipe this away from my memory and baptize me." 5/10 - Mixed 🍀 Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/11/24 Full Review lester good actinggood cinematographyvery confusing conveluded story Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/22/22 Full Review John P ??? This really was a waste of time and money. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/14/22 Full Review Asha J Started off so strong. And I don't know what happened😅 Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/13/22 Full Review samuel p Hurm. Kinda muddled messaging. More symbol than substance. So, why am I recommending? Because despite it's flaws, Garland is an intriguing director, and there is a movie in here, that keeps avoiding his grasp...that could have been special. And as frustrating as it is, I can't punish ambition. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/12/22 Full Review Read all reviews
