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.

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 Consensus

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.

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 out of 5 stars

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 out of 5 stars

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

Jake Wilson

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

Stephen Romei

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

Everything is Horrible (Substack)

Men is a rape/revenge film which spends most of its run time trying to distance itself from rape/revenge films.

immersive, disturbing, eerie, & incredibly off putting film that will disturb you all the way up till it’s jaw dropping finale. It’s vividly layered from its writing to its direction. I’m shocked

Ilan Preskovsky

Channel24 (South Africa)

It is, very decidedly, a mixed bag, with genius rubbing shoulders with stupidity; profundity with banality; subtlety with obviousness; emotional rawness with silliness.

Rated: 3.5/5
