Critics Consensus

Thoughtfully constructed and quietly probing, Louis Theroux: Inside The Manosphere uses Theroux's signature, gently persistent style to illuminate a disturbing, tech-driven subculture with clarity and impact.

Not a Must Watch

It’s maybe about a year, two years too late, you're wondering what else we are learning here that we haven't been taught before.

In making sense of the space, Inside the Manosphere arguably underestimates just how profoundly rotten it is.

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.

The film forces us to think not only about the visible culprits but also about the ecosystem that turns ideological poisoning into a profitable spectacle. [Full review in Spanish]

4/5

While Theroux is considered one of the world’s greatest documentarians, his trademark of being a remarkable listener and gentle provocateur doesn’t rattle these antifeminist influencers, who will undoubtedly leave your blood boiling.

A-

The documentary reveals, perhaps unintentionally, that the manosphere is less a movement and more a marketplace. Clickbait rage is these platforms’ currency.

ok so in the end, Louis Theroux never answered the crucial question. Might not be the best man for this job. That doc had a lot of promotion for something we basically have known for several years now.

Good expose on a faction of insecure and angry men and their unfortunate influence over the malleable youth. The influencers are able to galvanize their mob-like followers into accepting their tactics of violence and degradation which is a warning that these ideologies could bring something more nefarious in the future. Theroux's approach is quiet and skillful. An eye-opener for all parents with children of a certain age.

More lies and propaganda to shame and disparage men. Won’t work. Men will always be king.

Yet another disgraceful, unoriginal attempt at anti-man propaganda. Stay away.

Typical misandrist propaganda without any honest attempt at addressing the issue they pretend to explore.

This is not a documentary - it is propaganda.
