Men

 

Ugh. I really really really want to rank this higher. The leads are stellar here, Jessie Buckley as our heroine really wears her heart on her sleeve and her face. MVP is clearly Rory Kinnear who plays several different men throughout the movie, all sinister, all foreboding, all dynamic, all different.

But man, that fucking ending. Granted, it's from the director of Annihilation and Ex Machina so you definitely know it's going to be a movie where it's not all that meets the eye. But Damn, can something even hit the lash? Still a bit unsure of what it was trying to say if anything and by the end you feel unsatisfied and a bit tricked by what could have been a classic. Not just a classic letdown.
