Men
Overview
Men is a 2022 folk horror film written and directed by Alex Garland, starring Jessie Buckley as Harper, a young woman who goes to the English countryside to recover from a personal tragedy. She rents a beautiful, old house. She is harassed by a series of men, all played by the same actor, Rory Kinnear. The film is a surreal, terrifying, and deeply disturbing exploration of grief, trauma, and the nature of toxic masculinity. It was a critical and commercial success, earning over $8 million on a $20 million budget. Jessie Buckley gives a powerful, raw performance as a woman who is being pushed to the edge. Rory Kinnear is remarkable, playing multiple roles, including a creepy vicar, a naked, green man, and a child. The film is a must-see for fans of Garland and for anyone who enjoys challenging, thought-provoking horror films.
