Watching Jessie Buckley in Men. I don't see many films in the cinema, most only when they come out on streaming, but by that time the buzz and the marketing has gone and you're not reminded of it. So that's why I only see this one from last year now.

I've seen Jessie earlier in the tv (mini) series Taboo, War and Peace, The Woman in White and The Last Post, where she always impresses. Especially maybe Taboo.

An A24 film, available on Amazon Prime.

The nature in this bit of the English countryside looks very beautiful, if you don't mind the rain.

It reminds me a bit of Personal Shopper, as in we follow a single actress without much involvement of anybody else.

It started off so normal, like a nice stroll through the English countryside.

I like how films can be different like this, using all the tools in the box to tell their thing, without constraints of expectations.

On a side note, it struck me that she did nothing wrong: leaving unhealthy situations, drawing lines. To the extreme the film has her always make the wise choice. Except maybe the one thing that she went to the countryside to deal with her grief.

Jessie Buckley is amazing in this film.

This is why I only look at people's comments about a film after I've seen it. I really liked it. Why does everyone hate this so much? And why is so much of the hate directed at the director, can't people just watch a film and enjoy it without having an opinion about the guy who made it and/or his other films?
