Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

grumpyoldwizard11 Biggest pile of propaganda garbage ever... Leftist video vomit, would have liked to have learned something, but once again its all about the men crushing the souls of the poor downtrodden women. They should get paid the exact same, even if they suck at their job, should be fully paid when they decide to get pregnant, the rape "epidemic". Funny, not a single word about the real rape epidemic overseas... Wow, did make it to 5 lines... Here, instead of watching this, go cut off your man parts and stab yourself in the eyes and ears repeatedly...

mitchmitchell The essence of a Universe is hard to understand if your telescope only looks at one star in the sky.Kamala Lopez tries very hard to make us understand an interesting topic from many vantage-points, but fails in delivering a broad and balanced documentary for which this topic clearly needs and deserves. The main problem is it begins with an assumption that; equality does not exist. The documentary then takes us on a tour-de-force of heart-string-pulling, instead of focusing on global issues affecting the entirety of human equality in all countries.Instead of anecdotal individual stories of how people feel about something which happened only to them, we seek actual documented facts and statistics in totality across the globe. What is also skewed, is that instead of getting both sides, Kamala Lopez decides to focus only in something which supports the premise for which it then propagates.As such, large portions of this documentary could have been cut and replaced with the larger global picture of equality - which is significantly more important and worthy of our attention.I hope if Kamala Lopez attempts to look at the topic again, she will buy a bigger telescope and then, we will see something worthy of our attention.

catbetts Equal Means Equal has been described as an unflinching look at the current state of gender inequity, and it truly is unflinching. It's powerful and emotionally raw, exposing the nefarious webs of discrimination against women in an extremely well organized and pointed manner. The most poignant and hard hitting interview of the film is one of a young rape victim describing how she had to walk down her street, bloody, while people stared and no one asked her if she needed help or if she was okay. Gender based discrimination and violence are so everyday and expected, we almost expect this type of treatment for victims and survivors. This should be required viewing for students and legislators.

Annie D. I had the opportunity to see Equal Means Equal while I was visiting NYC this past weekend. This film raises critical questions about the status of women in our society. A compelling argument is presented to highlight why it is necessary for women and men alike to challenge the absence of female protection and recognition under the US Constitution. By addressing multiple facets of our daily lives, Kamala Lopez draws the viewer into the manner in which all things are connected. Until one area is improved, the others will remain adversely affected. Until we shed what has been the tradition of our nation and redefine our culture, we will continue to see gaps in equity. A historical review shows what few knew and understood, namely the Equal Rights Amendment was a nonpartisan issue. As audience members view this documentary, I hope they can shed their partisan lens and instead view it through a human lens. Is it really too much to ask that Equal Means Equal?
