Given the (at times over the top and obvious) themes of misogyny and gender roles, I would think that many should just not watch this at all.

It's message isn't very nuanced, and execution clumsy, it's a fairly straight indictment of rape culture, and patriarchal values and roles.

The men all represented different forms of abuse, and oppression by men, in different shapes and forms, but always patriarchal, and enforcing gender roles.

How dare you. he gave us Devs. and Annihilation is dope, even though not in same league as Ex Machina.

I didnt care for this though, it was well made, but i'm over grief/trauma porn prestige horror

@MartyMcFly :lolbron:
I’ll catch this eventually. Not in a rush. Although I like the premise. Just not the horror I want to sit through right now

Garland fakkit ass wait till now to put a Black man in some shyt
And he has to be the Apex abusive male and a Bedbuck

Movie just smashes u over the head with toxic masculinity and doesn't even give any follow up commentary

Also this is yet another "white women are such angels and ultimate victims"

Just checked my movie times and this is already down to one showing. Don't remember the last flick to come out and go down to one showing after a week.

Then checked the box office for it:hubie:

I'm late as fukk but this movie was SUPER TRASH.

Even before the weird ass ending it was just kinda there. Not very good or bad.

Then they went full retard the last 10 minutes.
The 1st time he gave birth I would've been horrified....by the 5th time :unimpressed: "ok, fukk all this, who's gonna pay for my car?"

I really wanted to like this movie more because of Buckley's performance. Remember thinking I was on the verge of something great during those first 2/3 but then it just devolves into a film too artsy-fartsy for its own good. Easily one of the more disappointing releases last year to me along with Crimes of the Future and Halloween Ends.

Yeah.. that last 3rd of the film really brings it down. Probably the worst flick I saw last year out of all the flicks I saw in the theater.
