Yeah, my thoughts from The Old Country:
Quote:Saw Men, and not sure what to take away from it.

Maybe that's the point?
Whoever posted before that its closer to Aronofskys Mother! than 'traditional' psychological horror / drama was 100% on point, except I could decode what Mother! was trying to say, in a way that I couldn't decode this.
Spoiler:  (click to show)
My best guess is that everyone is played by Rory Kinnear, because all men are kind of shitty in similar ways even when they mean well, but the rebirthing scene at the end is that the particular shittiness of her dead husband is a result of, I dunno, concentrated filtered masculinity (aka toxic masculinity)?
Or that she has gone there with her own ideas of all men being shitty (again, the sameface casting) but that her dead husband was actually uniquely shitty, and this is the process of her realising this and how she comes to terms with her grief / anger?

Good, weird, makes you think, whats not to enjoy?
