I will watch anything that A24 puts out, they are revitalizing cinema in a time where its existence is being threatened. Hereditary will go down as one of the most flawless movies ever and everything they pump out is worth watching.
But with Men, we're taken down a dark corridor where we're creepily asked to come along for the ride. We oblige. I trust Alex Garland as Ex Machina was pretty good and Annihilation was frickin' amazing.
I was with this movie most of the way and willing to go with all the analogies, be open to the unending symbolism, and believe that it will all be worth it.
But after many unanswered horrors, we come to the 3rd disgusting birth through what can only be described as a mangina, I'm out. Then you shove your ex-husband allegory down our throats and expect us to sort through your tattered mess of an ending. I'm not cleaning this up, I'm not going to become a movie mathematician and decipher your cryptic codes because it's not worth the effort.
Sure he's a demon or Satan, sure it's the manifestation of her guilt, sure she ate an apple so she's Eve and full of sin or whatever. Men have many faces and play many roles, quite often completely unsavory ones. I get it buuuut ...finish your damn movie. You think we would have learnt by now. Listen, we love experimental movies, that's why we're here, but you still need to respect us. Give us enough to chew on besides the bones.
Oh ya and the cinematography was beautiful.
