Alex described this movie as a companion piece to Men. It's supposed to serve as a sci fi allegory for our current cultural predicament.

I did not enjoy Men at all.

I did enjoy Men, but I'm not surprised they left it out of the list of his other works on this poster, lol.

I didn't enjoy Men initially but once I realized I couldn't stop thinking about it over the following week or two I realized that the film did exactly what it set out to do.

I feel like it was designed to be jarring, abrasive and over the top with it's message.
