Alex Garland is known for his complex science-fiction and psychological thrillers. While some of his films, such as Ex Machina and Annihilation received a mostly positive reaction, his 2022 horror thriller Men was pretty divisive to say the least. This was mainly due to its shocking ending. While Garland is no stranger to getting a reaction out of the audience, Men takes it one step further than any of his previous work during its third act, both narratively and visually. The film gives viewers an experience to remember, and its sinister and symbolic ending leaves many questions unanswered and open to interpretation.
