In making sense of the space, Inside the Manosphere arguably underestimates just how profoundly rotten it is. Go to Full Review
Geordie Gray The Australian Mar 23
Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere runs for an indulgent 90 minutes, which is a long time to spend in the company of some of the internet’s most tedious, charmless, self-flagellating, misogynistic drones. Go to Full Review

3/5
Inside the Manosphere is a haunted funhouse of mirrors, where everyone films each other. Go to Full Review
Lynn Larkin Film Ireland Magazine 1d
By focusing on these fascinatingly flawed individuals, Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere gives an intimate picture of an online culture built on personal branding, persuasion and performance. Go to Full Review
Patrick Beatty See It or Skip It 3d
Theroux puts the spotlight on these "Influencers", revealing the truth about a toxic and growing mindset that targets weak Men and degrades women. Go to Full Review

The modern Colosseum isn’t mixed martial arts or other human cockfights: It’s the stream, the endless river of torment and nastiness indulged in by millions for a few laughs. Go to Full Review

R Z. @GoldenHolden 2d I mean it’s a real journalist interviewing a bunch of l0ser kids I’ve never heard of who all come off as extremely sad, weird and extremely online. See more Rob B @Rob791 6d I can understand the defensiveness of the subjects been scared of been shown in a negative light. If you have a basic understanding of how the editing room works, then you know it is where the narrative is created. It is the place that can make the bad look good, the truth a lie, ect. MSM are professionals at this. So, because of that, it is all rather surface level and goes no deeper than that, because why would you let your guard down if you were them? Nothing about the reasoning and only a very few influencers included. See more Lucas H @RT19546852 Mar 25 A complete one sided documentary (if you can call it that) See more Jack L @RT22102532 Mar 25 Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere is a very solid documentary, with Theroux doing an excellent job of staying composed under pressure from his subjects. By simply letting them talk, he uncovers their deeper insecurities and issues. The film covers a wide range of topics, effectively highlighting both the hypocrisy and pervasiveness of the manosphere. While it can feel dull and repetitive at times and likely won’t change the views of those entrenched in this world, it’s still an important watch. The more people aware of this issue, the better, and we need to start engaging young men with more positive messages. See more Breanna L. @breannamadisan Mar 24 Loved it. The interviewer was fantastic! See more Craig B @CraigB7708 Mar 23 If you need an example of why the internet is the downfall of civilization this is a good example. these men are so repulsive yet seem to draw in young men into their sphere. Just sickening but great doc to expose it See more Read all reviews
