Any Man follows the stories of 6 men that were assaulted by the same woman, their stories and joruneys interlinking between social media posts, radio transcripts, phone calls, poetry, and journal entries. I was amazed how everything linked together and how poetic each entry was, so raw and full of emotion. It felt incomplete without Maude being caught, but the thrill isn't in finding who this woman is.
Rather its the painful road each character takes and who they became after their assaults. The attacks aren't vivdly described, byt can be painfully imagined through every character's entry and the aftermath.
3.9/5 C
