Filmed with 16mm, grainy, virtually colorless, and rife with fixed compositions, Enys Men will test the biggest fan of slow burns. It's at once enticing and frustrating in how little it tells us. The narrative is intentionally opaque, leaving much to the viewer's interpretation. Mourning become anemia. I enjoyed it but not for everyone.

But, it was truly a bore outside of the some arresting imagery and fairly haunting, albeit horribly short, sequences. The aesthetic and cinematography was great but repetitive to a huge fault in my eyes. The story, despite it being super vague in its presentation, was ok and not very worth the chain of events, or lack there of, you have to endure. But put this on if you want to be put into a trance before bed because it definitely has that affect. But, ultimately felt more like an experimental film made by a very ambitious and passionate film student who prefers vibe over more elaborate storytelling.

No point wasting your time. For the average “regular” viewer, this movie will likely feel overly dull and perhaps even meaningless. And no, it’s not horror, not mystery, not sci-fi. It’s a quiet meditation "on the waves" about memory and loneliness. But if you’re someone who appreciates film from the angle of cinematography, visuals, aesthetics, and mood—then it’s definitely worth at least a one-time watch. Mark Jenkin proves to be a rather promising creator. The film has striking visual compositions, a distinct aesthetic, and a solid performance by Mary Woodvine. It’s beautifully shot on 16mm, which only enhances the eerie atmosphere, even if the image is a bit fuzzy. Before watching, you should understand that this is first and foremost a purely experimental minimalist piece, and comparing it to most mainstream films isn’t fair. Enys Men is much more of a "feeling" with narrative hints scattered throughout than a clearly defined story with a beginning, middle, and end. For my taste, it’s a bit too vague, so I wouldn’t say I’m thrilled—but it’s an interesting experience nonetheless. See more Paul S Mar 13 This movie made me angry. Literally nothing happens throughout the entire film. It's clear that this was supposed to be an artsy film, but it did not resonate with me at all. The ONLY redeeming quality about this film is the cinematography, which was pretty good. Other than that, this film is just a waste of time to watch. See more Read all reviews
