Leave your thoughts about Enys Men.
| ColliderErick MassotoIt’s open enough to be perceived as a character study, a horror story, or something different altogether. But what is indisputable is the movie’s excellent use of wide shots and close-ups, the gorgeous production design and cinematography, and Woodvine’s quiet but compelling performance. |
| CineVueChristopher MachellWhereas Bait was a lament for a way of life swallowed up by mindless urbanite tourism, Enys Men is a hymn to sublime, endless time and the hauntedness of existence. |
| The Irish TimesTara BradyThe film arguably shares DNA with the psycho-geographical works of Pat Collins and Alan Gilsenan. |
| The Observer (UK)Mark KermodeWhat Enys Men “means” will differ for each viewer. For me, it is (like Bait) a richly authentic portrait of Cornwall, far removed from any tourist-friendly vision. . . I’ve seen the film three times so far, and I can’t wait to dive into it and be swept away again. Bravo! |
| The Film StageLeonardo GoiShot by Jenkin on 16mm color negative with a 1970s clockwork Bolex and scored with post-synch sound, the film looks and sounds as a relic unearthed from one of the island’s caves. A chest stashed with stories in turns seductive and chilling, woven into a tale that will keep on unfurling, in an endless and confounding maze. |
| The PlaylistJack KingThe witchy atmosphere Jenkin conjures is spine-tinglingly devilish, the poetic manifestation of the subject’s deep grief, ever-ambiguous and frosty, taking on the aching melancholy of loss. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisAt times, Jenkin’s bold, experimental style can perplex; but his vision is so unwavering and beholden to local history that his message is clear: On Enys Men, the earth remembers what the sea has taken. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyI was riveted by every moment of this haunting weird film. Enys Men made me legitimately uneasy. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenI’m sure there’s a definitive explanation, but Enys Men strikes me as a puzzle that’s more enthralled with its individual pieces than any picture they might complete. |
| The Daily BeastNick SchagerThose with a craving for out-there mystery and dread, however, will get a heady buzz from its bizarro madness. |
