Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow’s score meshes with Garland’s lush imagery, releasing a blend of music, ambient sound and, at its most eerily beautiful moments, Buckley’s voice. The result is powerful and unnerving. Read more

However, the qualities we find here - the score/sound design by Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury (a combination of eerie, ethereal and penetrating sounds) is absolutely phenomenal - easily overcome the quibbles. Whether this cryptic nightmare is your cup of tea or not, it’s very hard to ignore it. Read more

For all my gripes with Garland’s script, his filmmaking is as effective as ever. The imagery is evocative. The direction within individual scenes makes for thrilling set pieces. The sound design is largely chilling, as well. But I struggle to find substance in this stylish piece of artsy horror. Read more

Alex Garland’s Men is misschien wat minder dan zijn vorig werk, maar je kan niet ontkennen dat Rory Kinnear buiten zichzelf acteert en de makers daarbij de hedendaagse cinema blijven uitdagen in plaats van in de zoveelste mainstream #MeToo-stoet mee te wandelen. Read more

Geen evidente film, maar zeker de moeite van het bekijken waard en er nadien nog uren over na te praten bij een goed glas wijn. Read more

Men is een wat onevenwichtige, maar beklemmende film over de verwerking van een trauma. Aan de hand van fenomenaal acteerwerk van zowel Jessie Buckley als Rory Kinnear worden we meegenomen in de zelfconfrontatie van een verse weduwe. Read more
