No Men Beyond This Point

Full disclosure: I am female but I wouldn't necessarily identify as a feminist - I call myself an 'equalist' (partly because I have both a son and a daughter).

Anyway...I hadn't heard of this film and knew nothing about it beforehand...but I really bloody enjoyed it. I think the first scene I properly laughed out loud was when Andrew was hanging up the women's underwear - I can't remember exactly what he said but that was when I knew this was the sort of comedy that I like.

The casting and acting was perfect. I can't remember the last film I watched where I was so badly rooting for a couple of characters to get together at the end.

I do understand why some folks wouldn't like this film, but for me it is just refreshing to actually something different from most other films. Obviously this was a mockumentary, but it was also a sci-fi film, as well as being a rom-com, of sorts.

Summary: I just thought it was all round clever little film, which was also bloody hilarious. And I would definitely watch it again. Also - I watched it with my other half (male) and he thought it was funny as well, because thankfully he isn't the sort of bloke to feel that his masculinity could be threatened by a film.

Considering it's a fake documentary-style movie, it's somewhat fun.

It is fascinating to me how such a simple film became so controversial. It took a pretty basic concept (some would say a rip-off of Children of Men) and blasted onto the scene as a simple yet intriguing mockumentary on gender relations.

If this had come out ten or fifteen years ago, there wouldn't have been anywhere near the controversy. But, maybe that's what the film was going for. It meant to stir up discussion. If that was it was going for, I imagine the film was trying to say that both men and women are important in society.

But, what's great in this film is that is has so many layers. Could it be a parable for homosexuals? Is it a cautionary tale? Is it meant to put men down? Or perhaps it's meant to proliferate gender stereotypes? Maybe it's just a simple comedy? If any one of these were true, this film might not be so special, but seeing as all these elements combine, this film is very profound.

The concept is great. The footage scenes authentic. An Indie film but so what. Enjoy.

After seeing the movie "A Boy and His Dog", I noticed a new genre of movies I call one liners. It is where the entire movie is just a setup for the last line said in it. This movie falls in that genre, and the line is very funny, so I give it an extra star over the one star it tries so hard to obtain.

This movie is simply a slam on men. It leaves you wondering how hard the women who made it were dumped to have this level of vitriol in their male stereotypes. That being said, I recommend men watch this movie with their significant others to see their reactions. First off, you will seem a great catch in comparison to the angry sexist characters in the story. But, more importantly, you can see if your potential mate really enjoys the movie and can take it as an indication to run away. Fast.
