It's an ambitious and baffling conceit, and while Bruce LaBruce doesn't have enough of a coherent thesis to bring it together, his attempt is strangely fascinating.

Snarky fun until it runs out of steam...

I feel like I've just been dragged by the hair backwards through my radical feminist past and seduced into enjoying the ride.

The Misandrists will definitely shock some and piss others off while it will make some say "hell yeah" and have more give the central subject some thought, but the potential shock factor, mostly through sex and blood, has a point.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 12, 2020

The Misandrists misfires not because it lampoons grave subject matter, but in how lazily and unevenly it does so.

If off-kilter pornographic social commentary is your bag then it's certainly worth a watch despite its problematic elements.

The Misandrists is supposed to be a send-up of radical feminism, but it only occasionally shows any understanding of feminist thinking, and the film isn't funny for a second.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 29, 2019

The Misandrists walks dangerously close to 'respectability' at times - [Bruce's] aesthetic has cleaner lines, crisper framing, story structure that veers uncharacteristically towards (dare I say it) conventional.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 12, 2018

The blend of comedy, horror and social statement, while sometimes exciting, is too often a muddy mix.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 13, 2018

The film has countless opportunities to go wrong... but it mostly works.

| Jul 12, 2018

For LaBruce fans and fearless curiosity seekers only.

LaBruce cuts through the pretense of recent mainstream-movie sexuality.

At times, it seems like a parody of itself but manages to beguile while it sermonizes.

| Jul 3, 2018

I wonder if every viewer will understand that the film's unique tone is offered in the spirit of affection, rather than contempt, for radical feminism.

Director Bruce LaBruce tries hard to be the next John Waters, but can't even top D.E.B.S..

| Original Score: 0/5 | Jun 29, 2018

"The Misandrists" is a bad taste manifesto with an extreme feminist agenda.

| Original Score: C | Jun 22, 2018

It's bold, transgressive and at times very funny, but doesn't pull everything together in the end.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 21, 2018

Clever, yes. But its slow execution and cardboard acting doesn't play nice.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 21, 2018

...featuring intentionally cardboard characterizations and wooden acting along side highly charged sexual images, the script is replete with references to political theory that move so quickly from the lips of the actors that I couldn't keep up.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 15, 2018

If John Waters and Karl Marx co-directed a remake of The Beguiled, the resulting feature would be very much like Bruce LaBruce's The Misandrists.
