| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonIt overstates -- and over-stats -- its case, at times making that case as overly simplistic and over-determined as it argues American masculinity is. |
| User ReviewMarque DEveryone deserves to be whole. Good stuff. |
| User ReviewAlycia DThis is such an important documentary. Masculinity is such a toxic yet fragile thing in today's society. Everyone please watch this. |
| User ReviewMichelle RPoignant and thoughtful documentary film about how society conditions boys and how stereo-typing can lead to deep-seated issues as they go through adolescence. The implication that if boys were treated differently, it would have a far-reaching impact on their relationships with women, their attitudes towards violent behaviour and bullying is something to think about. |
| User ReviewSierra TThis documentary gave an interesting insight into the psychological concepts of masculinity, while presenting an interesting look into the concepts of why men act the way they do. It was even more interesting watching a documentary focused on boys and men, and the ways in which family and society contribute to aggressive masculinity. It gives a broader view to this issue by using a wide spectrum ranging from young boys to troubled young men to older criminals and male activists. I thought the documentary itself presented a very thorough view into the way in which males from a young age are constantly effected by outside sources to enhance their masculinity through aggression, sports, sexism, etc. to prove their own maleness. The documentary did this with emotion and humanity, using the many boys and men throughout to make this documentary stand out as something real while also speaking to the viewer. The documentary itself was very informative without ever getting boring, and dealt well with sensitive topics while helping the viewer feel that there is more to be done to help our boys and men. |
| User ReviewCurtis MFailing to watch this movie to the end will be self-inflicted damage via a lost opportunity to gift yourself happiness! |
| User ReviewKyle MA well-made and impactful documentary about a very important subject. |
| User ReviewJoshua CThe Mask You Live In is a documentary that reveals how masculinity and American culture can do more harm than good. |
| User ReviewJoyde Gtenho acompanhado o the representation project há uns anos, e ao saber deste projeto/documentário fiquei bem ansiosa pra ver. quando foi lançado procurei em todos os cantos da internet e nada, até que pra minha surpresa vi hoje no catálogo do netflix. e lhes digo: valeu a pena esperar. *assistam*. é imperfeito, mas também é um ótimo começo - especialmente se você for um ser humano. ((em tempo: não deve ser coincidência eu sempre ter gostado dos diferentes e/ou sensíveis)) |
