Critics Consensus

Jesse Eisenberg does some impressive work in Manodrome, even if the story isn't quite deep or nuanced enough to support his deeply committed performance.

The cast gives their all, but the film ultimately has nothing to offer.

With the help of a hideous haircut, Eisenberg gives a convincing performance as a repressed loser who never discovered who he is and has officially run out of time to start. But Trengrove’s script is as directionless as his protagonist.

Rated: C+

Substream Magazine

With friends like these, who needs family? It’s exactly the problem Trengove’s feature highlights and tries to warn against. With that token, it bypasses all the deeper themes it could have used to flesh out its obvious warning signs.

Cinemalogue

Muddled rather than provocative, this aimless drama about toxic masculinity and related ideologies is more compelling in the setup than the payoff.

...there's an alluring quality to Manodrome, even if it’s not explored entirely, that provides enough ammo for a thought-provoking watch. And combined with a solid cast [...], it’s a movie that deserves a lot more recognition than it’s gotten initially.

This movie is an awesome reflection of how libertarians actually are and what they look like. Literally a cult.

From lex luthor to an insecure man taking a bbc up his ass. What a giant step forward. The first part of the movie was fine, until the protagonist changed direction completely. The manodrome cult was interesting.

Manodrome is a 2023 drama thriller film written and directed by John Trengove 🧍‍♂️ Meh, it passed the time. Just. 😐 👍🏼👎🏼 Ralphie is an Uber driver and aspiring bodybuilder who is inducted into a libertarian masculinity cult and loses his grip on reality when his repressed desires are awakened

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
