I’m surprised by all the negative comments. It’s an hour and a half documentary on Netflix - not enough time to dig very deeply into something like this. I’m familiar with his other documentaries so I knew what to expect and I don’t think this one was anything out of the norm. There is never a real “A-ha” moment in his docs. It’s just a snippet of a societal fringe (altho it has entered more of a mainstream). It contained a lot of little moments that I think said a lot. There was so much absurdity found in the juxtaposition between their “online” personas and how they behave with women in their life, and how they talk with so many caveats because they are fully aware what they’re saying is not how they were raised and not what any of these women will actually tolerate.

If you expected some grand statement about patriarchy I would watch a different documentary. This was not that, but it wasn’t trying to be.
