Saw this last fall at TIFF, and I'm not over the moon about it like a lot of critics are. Yes, it's undeniably cinematic, it has some incredible sequences (I'll still spoiler this despite being vague, but the full reveal of what happens to these men is legitimately horrifying), and Glazer is indeed the closest thing to Kubrick I've seen since his death, but I just couldn't connect to what was going on.

I'd love to see it again though, as I could change my mind. I came away appreciating it more than enjoying it, but despite seeing ~20 films over a 10 day period that's one of the few that still sticks with me. So I usually recommend this awkwardly, because I still think something this original and weird deserves to be seen even if it didn't necessarily work for me.
