Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlMay 24, 2018
As in many of his films, The Misandrists finds the oppressed themselves oppressing others, a warning among all the dizzy outrageousness. Read full review

With The Misandrists, Mr. LaBruce announces, here is queer cinema: confrontational, pansexual, gender-fluid, racially inclusive, angry and surprisingly romantic. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreApr 30, 2018
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. Read full review
