Here's what I wrote after watching Men:
Oh man. compared to Alex Garland, Jordan Peele is an auteur. I disliked Garland's two previous efforts. Ex Machina was a half-assed attempt at meaningful sci-fi, while Annihilation was Tarkovsky's Stalker for popcorn eaters. But those two films were somewhat watchable, acceptable, passable. Now, Men is something else. It's one of the most in-your-face predictable and obvious films I've seen. Also, it's just so ugly. It's been a while since I've seen a film as ugly as this one. There's not one aesthetic shot in the entire film, and those shots that aim to look good are just so off. I don't know what Garland's deal is, but his films just look so flat and uninteresting. Also, the only worthwhile little thing about the movie is the on-the-nose symbology of Gaia and whatnot. But these attempts at making Men partly a Folk Horror fail.

I've seen all three of Alex Garland's previous films and liked them all, so I am hopeful this one will be good too.
