It demonstrates enough sincerity and openness to challenging ideas - letting representatives of this problematic movement make their case clearly and convincingly - that one wishes it were able to look at multiple sides of this debate at the same time.

The Red Pill (the title is a reference to The Matrix) only exacerbates [the] divide with its uncritical, lopsided presentation and inability to craft a compelling argument regarding a topic this controversial.

There's no doubt that men do sometimes do suffer mistreatment from the courts or from the women in their lives. What the film and the movement fail to demonstrate is any kind of systemic cause.

1.5/5

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.

Red Pill is a good documentary. There isn't anything groundbreaking here - gender roles are a thing, and clearly men and women both chafe at that. But yeah, men have certainly gotten the short end in the recent past in certain arenas.

The ridiculously low ratings from establishment stooges are all the evidence you need that this film speaks truth to power. One day it will receive the recognition it deserves. In the meanwhile, a 92% audience rating shows that people are waking up.

It's a great story, well-told. Cassie Jay comes over as an unusually honest person who manages (not easily but she does) to overcome her very deeply-held prejudices and to, eventually, really listen to people who are telling her things that she absolutely doesn't want to hear. There are very few people honest enough to make the journey that she makes. It is greatly to her credit that she does. And the way she then gets treated as an 'apostate' is shocking.

Brilliant. What a wonderful balanced female film maker. Take the red pill, not the green, ladies.

I appreciate the open minded approach, backed up with fact-checking. Definitely worth watching.
