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.

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.

Inside the Manosphere is a haunted funhouse of mirrors, where everyone films each other.

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.

By focusing on these fascinatingly flawed individuals, Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere gives an intimate picture of an online culture built on personal branding, persuasion and performance.

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.

Money hungry “boys” absolutely void of empathy who will do or say just about anything that strokes their egos. It’s really sad how many boys and young men are so lost that they choose to follow these types of influencers.

Interesting how social media, role modelling and insecurity are crossing paths in this documentary which boils down to economics and the belief that the more money you have, the more content you will be, all grounded in controversial content.

He starts with his preconceived personal biases about this topic. And then creates a fake documentary cherry picking anything he can to prove his preconceived biases. Makes zero attempt at even superficially exploring anything beyond that. Complete garbage fake documentary.
