Jessie Buckley has said online criticism of Men for telling its story through the prism of a male writer-director is "reductive".The Oscar-nominated star plays the lead role in Ex Machina filmmaker Alex Garland's new folk horror, in which she plays a woman who hopes to regroup at a country home after the death of her abusive husband.She has a series of unsettling encounters with men from the local village, who are all portrayed by Rory Kinnear — including a vicar and a nine-year-old boy — and seem to embody different facets of the ways in which men are a danger to women.
