What Is a Woman?

An incredibly important and insightful documentary for our time and surprisingly funny at times.

Highly recommended to anyone who is interested in the topic and wants to learn more about how gender has become politicized including what different people from various fields and communities have to say from both sides of the discussion. 10/10.

Despite the ruckus and waves this movie has seemingly caused, I think that before one judges it, one should give it a view. Perhaps there's a reason it's caused a fuss.. As with nearly any documentary, the writer does have a side he leans toward; however, that does not mean the information within is invalid. Both sides are interviewed and given a platform to speak "their truth." Both sides were also given a list of questions that would be asked. The difference was the answers given..or not given.

I must encourage a watch. It is a great wealth of information no matter where you fall.

This movie, which is basically Matt Walsh trying to get a simple answer to the title question is very well done, while also being frightening, upsetting and sickening in proving how far our society has fallen. It's a must watch for parents, but also anyone horrified by what they see and read in the world today. He talks to both sides, right and left, people on the street and even people in Africa, in a segment that really puts this controversial subject in a different light.

The most important thing about this documentary is that Matt Walsh lets the people he interviews talk. Very little of this film is Walsh speaking. That is worth something. You can actually understand the arguments people are making and consider what you think.

Now, where I think this could have been better is because Walsh has an agenda, he is overly-antagonistic. I get that everyone has an agenda, but if he would have kept the tongue-in-cheek stuff down and stuck to letting people talk about an issue that is interesting on its own, it would have been more palatable.

Still, there is not another documentary out there like this, and maybe there never can be as many might be afraid to be so candid on interviews in the future.

The fact that we live in a world where a question like this is not only asked but people, especially many women in this documentary, can't seem to be able to answer is mind blowing. Great documentary. The truth sets people free.
