Men (2022)

After a traumatic personal event, Harper decides to rent a house in the country for a solo retreat. It isn't long before she's weirded out by a nude man she encounters on a walk and then, later, the same man is in her yard. Subsequent encounters with males at the local church and pub leave her shaken.

The film had an effective aura about it -- especially in the early scenes -- but it then devolved into the fantastical and Harper becomes an unreliable narrator. Are we trapped in her nightmares? I'm not sure. But all of the men (and boys) in the village have the same face and damage to one damages them all. Flashbacks to her trauma make it clear that her experiences are derived from that experience. 

This reminded me strongly of an earlier film also starring Jessie Buckley: I'm Thinking of Ending Things. They probably both seemed like a cool ideas but, in practice, they were messy and nearly nonsensical.
