I saw Men, starring Jessie Buckley-The Lost Daughter, Fargo_tv; Rory Kinnear-the Bond movies, Penny Dreadful_tv; Paapa Essiedu-Gangs of London_tv, Murder on the Orient Express_2017 and Gayle Rankin-Glow_tv, The Greatest Showman.
This is a horror movie insight into relationships between men and women. Jessie and Paapa are a married couple having problems. She wants a divorce because he is insanely jealous and possessive of everything she does. When she tells him to get out he tells her that he will kill himself-the old guilt trip-and when that doesn't work, he hits her. He leaves and then she sees him falling to his death-did he jump or maybe he slipped and fell trying to get back into the apartment? After talking to her best friend Gayle, Jessie decides to rent a countryside cottage to get away for a while. Rory is the cottage owner. This is where it gets a little strange. Jessie has encounters with a nude man-who follows her back to her cottage-and a priest that puts the blame on her, after she confesses her husbands' death to him. The strange part is Rory plays these guys too-in disguise but you can tell it's him. Jessie uses a knife to cut the left hand of the nude stalker and the wound shows up on the other characters' hand too. There is a scene near the end that will blow your mind, showing the connection between all the male characters played by Rory. I'm sure it's some kind of statement about how men have treated women over the years but I wasn't very good at symbolism back when I was in school-a long time ago-so it went way over my head.
It's rated "R" for violence, grisly images, language and sexual content-including nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 40 minutes.
It's an interesting movie but I don't know if I would buy it on DVD. It would be alright as a rental.
