Viewing Journal: 7/21/2022




439) MEN
(2022 dir. Alex Garland) Date Seen: July 21 2022

This is the first Alex Garland helmed thing I've been on the fence about. It has a few very good eerie parts (That bit from his 28 DAYS LATER script where the infected in the church suddenly sit up & stare is visually echoed in a lengthier more stylistic way. **not to mention his fear of silhouettes in tunnels**). Unfortunately the movie contains lots of silly shit too. & about 40% of it just felt like a poor man's REPULSION to me.
Rory Kinnear is tour de force though.
