Good concept, poorly executed.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Absolutely the worst movie.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Watched this entire thing in full,This doesn't deserve to be called a documentary. It may as well be a nothing more than a propaganda piece for the MRM. Do not waste your time on it. If you decide to watch it make sure you actively research every person interviewed to understand exactly who they are.Just 1 example: Paul Elam, a deadbeat father who openly has stated he would never vote to convict if serving on a rape jury. It goes downhill from there rapidly.If these specimens are what today's American society considers men, I'm ashamed to be one.

This is a great film. I saw it not knowing what to expect and was blown away. Every man and woman should see it.

As its International Men's Day I thought I'd review a documentary that I saw a few days ago.How did I learn of The Red Pill? Thats a journey in itself...Someone tried to bully me in my place of work for being openly gay (note the word 'tried'. I fought back and have never seen myself as a victim. I'm a fighter). However, in the midst of what was happening to me I began to suffer from clinical depression. The panic attacks that I had kept at bay since the age of 13 were now out of control and I began to experience suicidal thoughts on a daily basis.It was whilst suffering from all of this that I began to research the issue of suicide and learnt that 75-78% of suicides are male. This fact shocked me massively. And so from looking into male suicide I learnt about The Red Pill. The title is actually a reference to the movie The Matrix ''in which the protagonist is offered the choice of a red pill, representing truth and self-knowledge, or a blue pill representing a return to blissful ignorance''.I knew that the film was seen as controversial to some people with some feminists wanting it to be banned. So is this film about the Men's Rights Movement a rancid cesspool of anti-feminism rhetoric, a film that only conveys views from rape enablers that are fundamentally anti-women? Of course not. The film is amazingly balanced with Men's Rights activists finally given a platform as well as feminists on the same topics. I had never heard these Men's Rights advocates speak before which is also very telling. The audience is granted a modicum of intelligence with which they can make up their own mind. Topics raised and discussed include male suicide, the lack of funding for male health conditions such as testicular and prostate cancer, the custody battles that fathers go through, the male victims of domestic abuse...the list goes on. These are all issues in which there is no equality between the sexes with men coming out disadvantaged. The documentary itself is amazingly made by filmmaker Cassie Jaye. She presents a well rounded and perceptive documentary that is balanced, fact-based and free from hysterical amateur dramatics. The documentary flows effortlessly and you feel like you want to see more when it finishes. Thankfully there are uncut and unedited interviews from the film on YouTube. And whilst you're on YouTube look up Cassie Jaye's videos. Especially of note are the interviews given to the Australian media who had never even seen the film (they claim that Ms Jaye hadn't supplied the film for them to see when in fact she had and several times. Ignorance is bliss, Andrew O'Keefe) but called it misogynistic and hateful. This is clear proof that they had never seen the film as The Red Pill is neither. But it seems that others are also taking The Red Pill. Taste of Cinema had a list of their favourite documentaries on their website recently. The Red Pill featured in that list. And it fully deserved to be there.I'll finish this review by reiterating the fact I quoted earlier. 75-78% of suicides are male. 75-78%! These conversations regarding men's issues need to be had before there are many more casualties. And I speak from very bitter experience. The Red Pill starts this process of discussion and discourse in a brilliantly balanced and intelligent way. Thank you, Cassie Jaye.

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.
