Men

[Opens May 20 in theaters.] After her despondent husband (Paapa Essiedu) commits suicide in London in Alex Garland's riveting, captivating, original, unsettling, thought-provoking, well-acted, intense, symbolism-filled, suspenseful, unpredictable, 100-minute psychological thriller highlighted by phenomenal cinematography, landscapes, and sets and a haunting musical score, a grieving British widow (Jessie Buckley), who is encouraged by her best friend (Gayle Rankin) to take time away, rents a quaint, 500-year-old cottage in the idyllic English countryside from its eccentric landlord (Rory Kinnear) in an attempt to heal, but her solace is quickly disturbed and threatened when she finds herself tormented and stalked by a creepy, mysterious, naked man who followed her home from the woods and becomes increasingly anxious and frightened as she meets other men in the village, including the strange vicar, an unhelpful cop, and a troubled, mask-wearing man.
