"Cassie Jaye’s men, and by association the filmmaker herself, are not serving a greater good or inspiring discourse, but instead fuelling a social divide and dishonouring their respective genders..."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lets get this out of the way. First things first, THE BAD: It's a shame that Men's Rights have to be validated through the lens of a feminist's perspective in order to be taken seriously, BUT, at the same time that's the Documentary's strongest point.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Men's voices are not being heard. If a man has a problem he has to "Man up" and shut up. If a woman has a problem it has to be some man's fault, we all know they are privileged, right? that is main stream culture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In this movie you will NOT see men bashing women left and right. You'll see men and women just talking about Men's issues and the need for those issues to be addressed, no more, no less.

As a documentary, it's pretty bad; there's little skill involved. As a primer on gender theory beyond feminism, it's alright; it gets the broad strokes right but fumbles the details and muddles the thesis somewhat. If it weren't the only documentary to tackle this topic, I'd rate it lower, but it gets a bonus point for its originality and guts. It's worth a watch if you care about human rights and equality.

Opens those subtle issues in the developed society which have always been overlooked

First, it was so easy to understand. Interestingly arranged. Also brought up different views of gender rights. But, most importantly, it sheds light on gender discrimination against male. An issue which is always overlooked. It is accompanied with modestly nice graphics for a documentary.

It seems like most of the 1 star reviews on IMDb, from reading through this, didn't actually watch the film.

Most of what they claim aren't present in the film at all, they are assumptions of what the MRA is and not what is stated in the documentary.

And then there are entire reviews about thing that aren't even a part of the documentary.

So clearly this is polarizing, but I haven't seen polarization where it's this blatant that one side didn't bother to watch the film.

At any rate, the Cassie video journals are interesting as we see how her own thoughts evolved on the subject (if they are real) and the interviews are nice, especially with how they openly contradict one another. They give you the feeling that one side of the debate just isn't listening to the other.

But ultimately, it is a fail stylistically. You have documentaries like "The Corporation," "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room," that all do a decent job of presenting their sides with a bit more style.

Even some of the interview locations where show with semi-distracting backgrounds.

The substance is there. And the even-handedness seems to be there as well, thought she does make conclusions (which is fair to do) she also does it with enough integrity to show the other side of the debate and even cover the history.

The problem is one of style, but that's like a club tie and a firm handshake, its something that can be picked up over time.
