Cuck

I had mixed feelings about this film--it's well-made and has some important things on its mind, but also just tries to cram too many talking-points in, to the end result that the storytelling is only semi-plausible. It would have been better as a shorter film without quite SO many curveballs thrown the protagonist's way. He doesn't need to embody every characteristic that someone like him MIGHT have, or every obstacle he might experience.

But I was driven to review mostly by the ridiculous number of obvious trolls here voting the lowest they can while obviously not having seen the film. Are alt-right types so scared of unflattering fictional depictions that they need to pile on public forums like this just to frantically discourage other people from seeing those depictions? Well of course they are. How pathetic. I mean, at least you people might have done your homework and read a few reviews so you could more convincingly pretend to have actually seen "Cuck" and had some real basis for criticizing its content. But then, you folk aren't exactly renowned for being very bright. You're as obvious as Scientologists posing as indignant Average Joes to scream bloody murder at any Scientology expose. All you do is underline the film's depiction of alt-right incel types as whiny, paranoid mom's-basement dwellers who are obsessed with "masculinity" yet have the tantrum-prone emotions of 5-year-olds.

You know what actual grownups are self-confident enough NOT to do? "Review" films they haven't seen, because they're afraid others might see that film and learn it's a little too accurate a portrait.

Sorry to say it, but this film's plot is incredibly weak, as well as too on the nose with the political commentary. The cinematography is great, as well as the lead's preformance. But Cuck feels more cartoonish in it's narrative then Joker, a movie literally derived from a comic book. I'd recommend watching this given time to burn, but it's in no way a "deep" film. If anything, I'd say that the screenwriters spent too much time trying to make the movie controversial, and not enough time trying to make this world feel real.

I suppose this movie can only worsen the situation of divededness within the US. But I don't really care. This movie is hilarious in its cringe. At least it's not boring. I only hope it wasn't indended to be taken dead seriously like some authors of the polarized reviews here did. Because if it was then... bruh.

Hello and salutations,

I was altogether convinced that this movie would be pure and beautiful when I first heard its title. The title awoke incredibly joyful sensations in my heart and sent utterly magnificent signals to myself's brain.

I am a cuck. And to all the reviewers here that claim the alt-right does not exist, I deeply resent and take offense. We, in fact, do exist among the lands of Chad'nbruh. Everything in this movie so accurately depicts and represents our homeland and I relished every second of it. Truly a work of art, truly magnifique, avant garde, chef d'oeuvre, truly a gentleman and a scholar.

Thank You

This movie is written from a point of view that tries to pass off as sympathetic but at its core this movie is a 'hate letter' to the 4\8chan and incel culture, this movie is not a character study, it claims to try to show how a sad lonely kid can get radicalized through exposure to far right rhetoric online but almost everything that happens in the movie is so outlandish that you really can't take it seriously.

Ultimately, this movie is written form a leftist perspective and it tries to color trump supporters as 'cucks', without a shred of self awareness about the whole ordeal, the movie takes itself very seriously.

But really, beyond the hamfisted politics it's not a terrible movie worthy of a 1 star review.
