Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Blistering performances.

Wow. Just finished watching The Red Pill - a female helmed documentary on the Men's Rights Movement. (Warning - this MAY start a minor flame war.)Let me caveat this by stating I very much consider myself a feminist, and have personally experienced - as we all have - more than enough abusive/exploitive misogynist encounters. (Even one of those is "enough". #metoo.)And one can't deny there are some "bad apples" in the MRA movement: a sub-section who *do* (perhaps intentionally) overlook acutely legitimate women's rights concerns. Those that fall into that category use the cloak of MRA to hide inherently misogynistic views. Needless to say, folks like that should be immediately corrected and educated... no compromise allowed.Still: documentarian Cassie Jaye presents a balanced case here in Red Pill, exposing the strawmanning stereotyping on both sides of the Feminist/MRA fence - all nuance be damned. (A us-vs-them mindset similar in nature to the red-blue political dichotomy so unescapable now in the US. )But Men's issues are human issues, too. IMO, any true Feminist must be concerned with both. Which makes Red Pill an intelligent watch. Tribalism always aggravates social problems, it never helps. The only thing that *can* is a principled, fair and open minded look across the board. For which, this documentary *may* be a solid starting point.

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.

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.

First off I wanted to state that I am a male and I thought this film was a huge waste of time. It is a documentary about a bunch of whiny men with no real journalistic integrity.First I never got a sense of what male activists actually wanted to achieve; yes they stand up and shout that men are actually the ones being discriminated against while women have all the advantages. Unfortunately, these activists aren't doing anything about the actual issues - nothing was presented in the documentary.The movie notes the high level of abuse against husbands so why are these men not creating public service announcements, paying for posters and billboards. They could have a really great slogan - domestic violence doesn't see gender. The men lament the lack of services for them like there is only one men's shelter in the entire country. Most shelters are run by non-profit organizations. So instead of whiny why don't they get together, create a society and apply for government grants. The journalist didn't bother to answer these questions.Instead of being active all they do is sit in front of audiences saying how they are getting a raw deal in society. However, what women have found out is that society won't change until you change.The bit that really got me was the idea that men are scarifying themselves. A bunch of stats like work-place accidents, war combat deaths were presented in the film. However what is never mentioned is that women were never allowed in combat positions. For example: it wasn't until 2012 that women were allowed to serve in a submarine. Men are involved in more work place accidents because women were never hired in these jobs like firefighter, police officer, lumberjack, miner. A little bit of objectivity from Ms Jaye would have been nice.Yes there are some issues that needs to be addressed in society like a man's role in the family and the growing threat of domestic violence but that doesn't mean we should stop supporting women in their battle for equality.
