Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

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

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

fdiam People who left bad reviews, your mind is closed to what the other side has to say, and that is a shame. There were many REAL issues brought for open discussion in the movie, and many VALID points were presented, and you just dismissed everything by name calling (instead of countering something you disagreed with with factual information). The documentary presents sufficient supporting raw data for its main arguments, such as higher suicide rates among men, child custody bias in courts, the social norm of valuing lives of women more than that of men and its repercussions ... presents some interesting points for thought such as objectification of men as success objects by women. All are VALID points to which the feminist advocates in the movie couldn't find a VALID explanation, and did little other than mumbling when asked about. A lot of respect to the film maker, a self identified feminist, who found in her the compassion, and the courage to engage in critical thinking, to hear, and tell the stories of those whose voices are being silenced with shaming, name calling, and false assumptions. I don't care about the MRA or whatever they are called, and even if they are bad, some of their members made some VALID points regarding REAL issues, that are not specific to MRA, but that many men can identify with nowadays. It must be addressed, not disregarded !!Now for you geniuses who want to discard my review with making some false assumptions about me, an independent person who you have never met and who is not affiliated to any organization, go ahead; it is very convenient to do it that way, but it won't make the issues and the truth go away ;)Have a nice day, ya'll !

susanmariesabo I'm always interested in what are legitimate mens rights issues, such as fathers' rights, so I was interested to see what this filmmaker had come up with. Unfortunately, this is not a true documentary but simply a string of interviews with men who are disgruntled about women who are seeking equal treatment. With cherry-picked data from the men and virtually NO data to counter it, Jaye pretends to wander, doe-eyed, through this mysterious issue of "men's rights" as if nobody had ever dare utter the phrase in public, much less in serious debate. Lacking historical perspective, lacking objective data, Jaye acts as if she's received an epiphany about men being mistreated and ignored by society, until the end, where she declares she can no longer call herself a feminist. Along the way, Jaye has completely mischaracterized feminism and given carte blanche to a bunch of well-off men who want to sit in their homes and complain about the pressures of being a man and how women just don't care. This could have been a really interesting piece and it actually could have brought men and women together under the umbrella of human rights, but instead Jaye takes the men's claims lying down, never challenging, never countering. As a film, I suppose it's appealing to disgruntled men. So there's that. As a documentary, it's useless.

isadoraopossum Somehow this woman managed not to interview a single person who actually knows and understands what feminism is. They present every feminist as being a radical feminist, not actual feminists, and fail to address how all the serious issues covered in this film would benefit from feminism. Father's being overlooked as caregivers equal in parenting rights: feminism will help with that. Male abuse and sexual assault: feminism would aid in demolishing the stigma that these are not real issues deserving of attention. Failing to see men as capable of providing emotional support, as well as experiencing all the emotions women are free to openly express: feminism would change that. This "documentary" presents feminism as being synonymous with "anti men" or "women are better than men" when actual feminism is about equal rights for both men and women. "FEMINIST fem-uh-nistadjective Sometimes fem-i-nis-tic. 1. advocating social, political, legal, and economic rights for women equal to those of men.noun 1. an advocate of such rights." -Dictionarycom Feminism is equality, not superiority. Both women AND men would benefit from a feminist society.

andwarren I heard about this documentary on youtube and after watching a Ted Talk by the filmmaker I had to see it. Honestly, my expectations may have been too high but it was still a very good documentary. The production value was great and it was a topic which really doesn't get any mainstream media attention (unless you count htitpieces on buzzfeed, vox, or huffingtonpost). She focused on the issues that the MRA movement is most concerned with and which your average person can easily get on board with. She also exposed some of the flaws of the modern feminist movement, which is in desperate need of self-evaluation. She mostly avoided some of the most controversial points, which may actually have been wise because this film got a huge backlash as it is. There were some pretty compelling arguments made in the documentary and there were some very sad stories presented which I think will raise peoples awareness of men's issues. It would have been good to hear more about the accusations made against the MRAs however because they were sometimes quite severe. Also, there could have been a little more from the feminist perspective.
