The Hollywood Reporter by David Rooney
At first, there's a certain cheesy charm to the Eurotrash '70s aesthetic, with a cast of minimally skilled actors spouting lines like, "Young lady, have you seen anything queer in the area?" But any resemblance to a coherent thesis is purely coincidental.
Misandrists is a diverting bad-taste frolic for the sufficiently jaded.
Slant Magazine by Diego Semerene
The sexual outbursts in the film are tempered with a tenderness that one hardly associates with Bruce LaBruce's career.
This plot sounds like “The Beguiled,” right? Trust me, this movie is NOTHING like “The Beguiled,” For one thing, it’s not nearly as plot-driven.
In the end, the only transgression The Misandrists really commits is self-satisfied solipsism.
It’s a wild romp with all the campy noir you might expect in a film by the father of queercore.
Los Angeles Times by Katie Walsh
At times, it seems like a parody of itself but manages to beguile while it sermonizes.
The one-liners just kind of lie there. The movie’s many make-out scenes do what they do in most exploitation films, they stop the movie cold.
The New York Times by Teo Bugbee
With The Misandrists, Mr. LaBruce announces, here is queer cinema: confrontational, pansexual, gender-fluid, racially inclusive, angry and surprisingly romantic.
She’s everything. He’s just Ken.
A faded television actor and his stunt double strive to achieve fame in the final years of Hollywood's Golden Age.
A failed stand-up comedian is driven insane, turning to a life of crime in chaos in Gotham City.
Holmes... Enola Holmes
When a young woman, Bella, is reanimated by an eccentric physician, she begins her life anew, exploring the pleasures of the world.
