My thoughts on Alex Garland's Men is that it was terrific but so fucking scary that I can never watch it again!

Alex Garland’s MEN is, of course, psychologically terrifying but funnier than expected thanks to a versatile Rory Kinnear. Jessie Buckley continues to amaze. Thematically layered & vividly constructed with an unforgettable final sequence. Lots to absorb on just a single viewing. pic.twitter.com/bf10Jg7nuk

Holy shit. MEN builds into something completely wild and unexpected. A quiet unsettling before surreal insanity. Still pondering over it days later, but one thing I am certain of: Rory Kinnear is operating on a whole new level and one of the absolute greats. pic.twitter.com/hnr2jYQHEE

MEN is creepy, strange, and gruesome, with genuine moments of dark comedy. It's both a straightforward horror film and something far more elusive/unclassifiable. Jessie Buckley is predictably great, but the movie belongs to the many Rory Kinnears (Rorys Kinnear?). pic.twitter.com/N0GUx3w7jf

MEN: Alex Garland's most nakedly horror movie, and also his weirdest. A surreal folk horror film that starts off as an unsettling home invasion thriller and gets stranger (and gorier) from there. I loved it?? Audiences will hate it!

MEN is absolutely bonkers. Top-notch performances from Jessie Buckley and Rory Kinnear. That having been said, it kind of falls apart for me and the pieces didn't come together in a way I would have liked. I suspect this one is going to generate lots and lots of conversation. pic.twitter.com/SVg8kBvF97

Alex Garland's MEN is going to be even more of a conversation-starter than ANNIHILATION or EX MACHINA, but I suspect there's going to be much less agreement about what's going on. It's intense, opaque, challenging, and visceral as hell. It'll make people angry, at the very least. pic.twitter.com/ao19AhN6w6

Men is not my favorite Alex Garland movie, but it most certainly does extend his impressive streak of making complex, fascinating, and layered genre stories that fuck with your head for days. The ending is certainly a jaw dropper, and executes some brilliant body horror. #Men pic.twitter.com/hS4OqCt8qC

MEN: Rory Kinnear portrays a spectrum of broken male energy which gave me MANY questions I want to ask Alex Garland.
I loved watching it, I cannot wait to see it again, but I am unsure if I understood it.
The climax will make people nauseous.

I saw Alex Garland's new movie MEN. It's his most stripped-down and primal film yet. Removing the sci-fi veneer of Garland's previous work reveals he's actually the most talented surrealist director working today. The ending of MEN is also even weirder than ANNIHILATION's ending. pic.twitter.com/1FNStblELz
