Men

The movie is a surrealist take on being able to overcome grief and trauma, along with a critique on toxic masculinity. It definitely has some good jump scares and a lot of suspense. Would give it a try for sure.

I love it, love the eeriness and the atmosphere! Super original.

The film Men was so slow that I had to shave and get a haircut in the middle so my date would recognize me when the theatre lights came on during the credits.

I kind of understood the symbolism and message and while it isn't flawed or incorrect in any way it was pushed to the point of almost humorous. Like the ending was unintentionally funny with the giant impact font MEN flashed at the end of the typical garbage boyfriend behavior trope. The cinematography was pretty great though and the audio team was straight up COOKIN the entire movie so I can't call it flawed when Garland did have good talents working on a movie which he kind of inserted a message into but failed a little on the delivery. I'd say this is a female horror movie though, one men can also enjoy albeit somewhat half humored.

Men will hate this film. I loved it.

Started out with slow pacing, preparing an interesting outline which makes you curious about what will happen. Acting and direction are good. But when the story continues in the 2nd half it becomes more gore, over the top and incomprehensible, without explaining what really happened, leaving the viewer behind with an unsatisfied feeling.

A mensagem que Alex Garland tenta passar com esse filme não fica perfeitamente clara — inclusive, alguns podem achar tal mensagem confusa ou, até mesmo, sem sentido —, mas os visuais são perturbadores, a trilha sonora é horripilante e as atuações são ótimas, principalmente da protagonista, que é capaz de dar à sua personagem, ao mesmo tempo, sutis camadas de força e vulnerabilidade. Na minha interpretação o real vilão de "Men: Faces do Medo" é o homem (no caso, a "instituição" homem, não um homem específico). Então, se você é mulher — vale ressaltar: homem falando aqui, eu sei que não é o meu lugar de fala, mas essa é uma parte do filme que me pareceu bem clara — e já se sentiu desconfortável nas mais mundanas interações com homens, vocês vai, inevitavelmente, se identificar com alguma parte desse filme. E eu não entendi tudo, mas gostei do que vi.

Well, I don't know. On the one hand, I think Men is really well crafted and the story is well told... but on the other hand, this very story suffers from the not very subtle message of toxic masculinity and the clumsy attempt to incorporate it in a folkloristic way. Unfortunately, this wastes a lot of potential.

this movie makes me furious. it's a shallow, feeble attempt at "men bad! we empathize with you!" it's just an abused woman being tortured and thrown into worse situations for sick kicks.

It seems like a good idea and has decent performances, but it fails to convey the director’s intended vision.
