How sad is this?

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Plot wise, this movie was kinda eh and it was kinda slow moving. Honestly aside from the funny political satire stuff, its not a super great movie. The acting kinda sucked but that made it more funny tbh. I guess you have to appreciate the political humor and not get offended lol.Basically if you think a political satire called "The Misandrists" sounds funny, well then you'll probably get at least some laughs out of it. It's not gonna win any awards, but it might be a fan favorite in some radical political circles.Don't take it too seriously. Some of these other reviews are talking about how ugly the women are... but who cares? If you're going to be turned away from a movie because the cast is unattractive, then this movie is not for you.

Poor writing, poor acting, poor direction. What passes for attempts at humor aren't even laughably bad. There was actually a seen where they cut male reassignment surgery into the film, and it wasn't even in the right aspect ratio! Everything about it was inept. Actors hideous, accents terrible, but not like in a John Waters way, just awful and not entertaining in the least. A female made movie written by a man, and both sides are insulted roundly. I have no clue who this is made for. Someone who hates humanity, but not in a clever or entertaining way. Rated a 2, because it's shit.Note: this review was more clever and better written than the film in question. "Enjoy!"

Definitely not worth the bandwidth to view, very unattractive women (are some actually dudes?!)Don't assume by the synopsis that there might be anything erotic or fetish, it's just man-hating.As one review stated, if this movie was made with all sexes reversed, I'm sure there would be arrests.

Greetings again from the darkness. An injured man is attended to by a group of females in an isolated home, and things don't go so well. You might assume this is similar to THE BEGUILED, but you'd be mistaken. Written and directed by Bruce La Bruce, a radical Canadian filmmaker known for his work in extreme Queer Cinema, the film is a cross between satire, social commentary, and proof that one can purposefully make a film far outside the mainstream.The film begins with two schoolgirls kissing in a field "somewhere in Ger(Wo)many". It's the first of too many uses of twisted non-male vocabulary. We also get "A(Wo)men" to end a prayer, Herstory (instead of History) as a class, and (Wo)manifesto to spell out the mission of the group. The girls spot an injured man and sneak him into the basement of their all-girls home/school. We soon learn they are part of the Female Liberation Army, a group of radical female separatists whose favorite chant is "Down with the patriarchy". You might think that hiding an injured man in the basement would be the biggest secret of the girls, but again, you'd be mistaken. We are provided with the background for each of the characters, but mostly we are pounded with the anti-male message: "male is superfluous". The girls' lessons include parthenogenesis and learning to quote philosophers such as Schopenhauer, and of course, most of it is satirical and campy ... just not quite campy enough. Director La Bruce never strays far from shock value: a slow motion pillow fight, gay sex scenes, an unusual (and maybe fetishy) dance scene with eggs, and quite vivid video footage of a particular medical procedure involving the young man discovered in the woods. To cap it off, Big Mother (the leader of this revolutionary group) announces that they will make an all-female porno film because ... what better way to prove we don't need men? Its purpose is to serve as propaganda to spread their anti-male message, and once again, a bit more camp would have helped. Admittedly, this is one film I should have passed on reviewing, as I simply am not one to "wake up and smell the estrogen".
