Men stands out as a strikingly original, unsettling, and unusual film likely to provoke strong reactions. The cinematography by Rob Hardy is remarkable, guiding audiences through visually striking imagery enhanced by impressive makeup effects and visual artistry. The musical score composed by Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow contributes significantly to the atmosphere, creating an eerie and memorable soundscape. However, Alex Garland’s core theme becomes overly emphasized and blunt, diminishing any emotional resonance with a character who isn't fully realized. The final section relies too heavily on graphic and unpleasant imagery, repeatedly illustrating its point in a way that feels unnecessary and ultimately disappointing. Jessie Buckley delivers an exceptional performance—she is truly deserving of a stronger vehicle—as does Rory Kinnear, showcasing his versatility through several different portrayals. Rating: C
