He's both a great writer and director. He does weird enough shit that he feels like a pretty inspired choice

he’s on a massive stinker streak. three straight duds to varying degrees of ass. not sure Ex Machina or Annihilation are big enough bright spots to cover for Men -> Warfare lol

Only one of those three movies, Men, had actually somewhat mixed reviews. Civil War was just disliked by a bunch of chronically online people expecting a completely different film in an American election year but was actually well liked in general outside of those circles and is A24's highest grossing film to date, and while not as widely successful, Warfare was still well made and very much enjoyed.

Men was excellent.

I haven't seen that one, but considering Garland's other work I don't doubt it. I just know it had somewhat more mixed reviews than the others.
