A twisted exercise in narcissism... Go to Full Review
John DeVore Decider Jul 3, 2023
The movie is closer to a video opinion essay than an examination of an issue... What Is A Woman? is utterly devoid of curiosity or generosity. It’s fueled by anger and fear, and partisan calculation. Walsh poses like a wise man, but he’s a cyberbully. Go to Full Review

3.5 / 5
Yes, viewers will need to contend with Matt Walsh’s agenda, but he does a solid job of presenting various angles from which to discuss the myriad debates rocking our culture right now. Go to Full Review
Jessie Gender Jessie Gender YouTube Channel Aug 12, 2022
A film made to sermonize to the already converted, those already primed to see the simple existence of trans people as worthy of laughter and contempt rather than curiosity or empathy, then hand them weapons in the form of lazy disinformation and hate. Go to Full Review
Brett McCracken The Gospel Coalition Jun 11, 2022
The film is strongest when it isn’t poking fun at trans activists or making them squirm with gotcha questions, but rather when trans skeptics are given the chance to speak—something too few platforms are willing to do today. Go to Full Review

3/4
...the film takes a decidedly Roger & Me approach to answering its titular question, finding the answer as elusive as Moore did General Motors CEO Roger Smith. Go to Full Review

@RT69527060 Aug 31, 2026 ‘여성은 완전한 미스터리입니다. - 스티븐 호킹‘ 보수적 시선으로 캐묻는 음모론. ’성별은 신의 계획‘이라는 말이나 하는 창을 든 아프리카 부족에게 가서 젠더에 대해 묻는 게 무슨 의미가 있나. 편향적으로 취사된 인터뷰와 자료영상을 보다 보면, 위험한 트랜스포비아 조장 편향 다큐라 본 사람이 거의 없다는 게 다행이다 싶을 정도. 모든 사안에 반론을 낼 수 있을 정도로 허술하지만, 인터뷰이의 어버버하는 컷만 잘도 가져다 사용했더라. 보수는 단어에 집착한다. ‘여성‘이라는 단어도 정의하지 못한다며 마지막까지 조롱하는 영상풋티지를 넣은 이유는 넘나 극명. 생물학적 정의야 쉽지, 젠더 정의로는 스펙트럼이 넓고, 그래서 무지개를 쓰는 건데 단어에만 집착하니 이런 지독한 오컴의 면도날이 또 없다. ‘여보, 여자가 뭐야? / 성인 여성 인간, 피클 병 여는 데 도움이 필요한.‘ 다큐 감독 아내의 답에 기절하는 줄. 이게 극우가 생각하는 여성상이구나, 피클 병 하나 제대로 따지 못해서 남성에게 부탁하는 약해빠진 성인 여성 인간. 그나마도 의도된 연출임이 분명한 컷으로. ‘당신들은 모두 아동 학대자들입니다. 감수성이 풍부한 아이들을 잡아먹고 세뇌시키고 있습니다. 그 미친 이데올로기적 미신cult 중에서도 소년이 소녀고, 소녀가 소년이라는 것만큼 미친 생각은 없습니다.‘ 트랜스 혐오는 sns 트랜스젠더들을 보여주며 그들이 불안하고, 사고가 미성숙하며, 다른 무언가에 소속되길 원하거나 트렌드에 민감해 그런다는 식으로 선동하다가, 분연히 일어나 의자로 트랜스 분석 차트를 부술 때 가장 극적 클라이막스로 치닫는다. 사회에 미치는 악영향을 생각하면 전작과 마찬가지로 1점도 크다. 극우계의 마이클 무어라 할 만하다.

See more Francesco A @RT72548527 Aug 7, 2026 This movie stated facts and pointed out the obvious by using science facts logic and truth to back up everything he says See more rio A @RT13942686 Aug 7, 2026 As a openly gay conservative, I love this movie destroyed woke ism, and defined what a woman is. This is definitely one of the most intellectual films of our time. See more Beat B @Beatbizzle Jul 31, 2026 This started out well, engaging with professionals, listening to their expertise, raising questions when he didnt quite understand, and then offering counterpoints to have a discussion about what may or may not be discussed in academic settings, even those who supporten his views. After about 30-40 minutes, it began to devolve back into pseudoscience, attempted gotchas, and a lack of clear and concise discussion that relied too much on manufacturing outrage and leaning on the more entertainment-driven emotions that Matt Walsh is known for. Media Literacy is an incredibly useful tool to have when engaging in content like this because the conversation itself is important. There is a disturbing lack of mental health support for children who may be experiencing gender related discomfort, but that discussion wasn't even on the table here. The whole thing, especially the ending, left me feeling like it was incomplete. A woman is an identity, and no one will ever be able to define it away. See more Read all reviews
