Men (Alex Garland, May 20, 2022) Movie • Page 6

This was pretty gnarly! It is definitely not for everyone but I really enjoyed it.

 

Oh man, if this is actually like mother! I'll be so disappointed

 

Lol, have fun folks

 

I think the only thing this has in common with mother! is the broadness and the cinemascore haha

I have a hard time describing my feelings for this movie because it's definitely clouded by being in a headspace where I'm cool never seeing violence/psychological trauma against women in a movie ever again

 

this was so much better than mother and i didn't even particularly like this

 

The other thing this has in common with mother! is that they are both very good movies

 

Never seen Mother and could not care less about it but I did enjoy this movie quite a bit.

All the scenes in the woods at the beginning looked so much like some of the early stuff landscapes in Annihilation.

 

I think it's not only comparable in vibe and intent to challenge the audience (thematically and visually), but also in the theme of burden consistently experienced by women all the way down to the biblical references.

 

I was a big fan of this and that ending is some of the most bonkers shit I've ever seen

 

Wheeeew this was a trip. Loved it. Scared the living shit out of me tbh and the last 15 mins or so was so deeply upsetting and surprisingly gross. Gotta think about that ending for a while.

 

To whoever's seen it, just one question: How scared and disturbed were you? Ignoring how divisive or nonsensical the plot might seem, how effective would you say it is as a horror movie?

 

it scared the shit out of me.

 

It's effective. The first hour is a good level of wtf meets home invasion psychological horror. The last act is pretty off the charts disturbing in a visual sense.

 

I was more disturbed than scared.

 

About halfway in it shifted from scared to wtf to grossed out

 

Man, you're all making me want to see this even more. I love creepy and gory and I think Mother! is great.

 

Ironically, the women I know who have seen this have hated it!

 

my wife didn’t hate it so much as she was entirely bored. kind of the inverse of how i felt: entertained but overall a pretty empty movie

 

Annihilation, Ex Machina & Devs are three of my favorite pieces of media of the past decade. Not suuuuuper looking forward to this based off what I’ve heard so far, but still gonna go see it.

 

I think if you’re a fan of Garland you will enjoy this on some level. It’s certainly unlike anything he’s done but it’s still got lots of his signature vibes.

 

Upon further reflection I agree with this take

 

yeah i’m not watching movie reviews on tiktok lol

 

God I fucking hate this forum sometimes

 

you’re having a normal one
