A Brony Tale, as an ethnographic study of this culture, is a bit disjointed

The Dissolve

This is an accessible, briskly paced documentary about a phenomenon that warrants exactly the level of investigation Hodges has given it here.

Rated: 3.5/5

While it could have benefited from more insight from the people involved with show and follow-up commentary from Bryan, the movie poses interesting questions about gender roles in modern society.

Rated: 9.1/10

At the same time, it's fascinating to watch Hodge peel back the curtain and show this community in all its perplexing glory.

Weirdly, I Totally Got This. Never Had An Interest In The Cartoon, But I Think The Idea Of Having 'Positive Escapism' In A World, Reacting To So Much Painful News..It Is Something I Get & I Also Indulge In Escapism Of The Musical (Trance-Dance) Side, But Not This.
