The beautiful and chilling deconstruction of patriarchal distopia. No wonder so many guys get so triggered by it.
5 June 2020
If you're at all interested in the injustice of patriarchal societies, then this film will be incredibly satisfying to you.

Cleverly written and beautifully shot, with a soundtrack that will haunt you, it can count as both, an art & mass audience film. All the performances are on point, not a false note among them, and the sets & scenery further enhance the beauty & horror of this film.

Sorority at its best & worst. No wonder so many guys get so triggered by it.

PS Finally, a film where you see the leader of the cult and think 'Oh, yeah! I get why he has a following!', he is magnetic. I guess that's why we need more women screenwriters & directors.

The normal girl
3 February 2020
One of the best comedies I have ever seen.

This film brings together a range of colorful and believable characters to tell one universal story that we all know but sometimes forget: being average looking is not the problem, having low self-esteem is.

Well-rounded characters steal the spotlight, while the storyline flows perfectly. Nothing seems forced, no social observation is blown out of proportion, and even the supporting characters have a mind and life of their own. The characters are memorable, especially the women.

By the end, you feel better about yourself and most importantly, you want to share it with your girlfriends. Les hommes préfèrent les grosses is empowering for women, funny and clever.
