A game changer

Many people are starting to learn what happens when you debate with a feminist, or question feminism in public. Facts suddenly become morbidly offensive. Logic goes out of the window. Ironically, even the concept of 'equality' takes a back seat. This film takes a dispassionate and balanced look at the men's rights movement and it's struggle with the feminist narrative.

I saw the red pill during the first UK screening on October 30 and I was profoundly impressed with the elegantly simple approach to the topic. We follow Cassie Jay on a simple journey, starting with her describing her experiences of being objectified as a teenage actress and her decision to look into 'rape culture' after learning of two horrific rape cases. She stumbled across the controversial website 'a voice for men' and proceeded to fall down the proverbial rabbit hole.

All the men's rights movement has ever wanted was fair representation and a chance to be heard. Something the mainstream media has taken great pains to prevent. Thankfully to men all over the world, the red pill delivers a fair hearing in droves.

I implore EVERYONE to watch this film. It is arguably the most important documentary of our generation.

Fantastic - An enjoyable journey of consciousness

I've just watched this at the National Men's Rights Working Forum. Cassie Jays interviews a number of men's rights activists, such as Paul Elam (founder of A Voice For Men),Warren Farrell (author of the Myth of Male Power) and others and feminists such as Big Red (A feminist involved in stopping a talk by Janice Fiamengo at the University of Toronto) and Katherine Spillar (Executive Editor of Ms. Magazine). There is talk about men's issues like the lack of men's domestic violence shelters, paternity fraud and workplace and combat deaths. This is clearly a journey of consciousness for Cassie Jaye. She talks to men and even women, like Karen Straughan (GirlWritesWhat on YouTube) and Erin Pizzey (Opened the world's first domestic violence shelter in London in 1971) who set out what men's issues are. She talks to feminists who say that feminism already includes men's rights. We can see that Cassie Jaye has trouble with this. She really wants to say that the feminists are right; being a self declared feminist herself. She struggles with this, as what the men's rights activists say seems to make sense but Cassie has cognitive dissonance. She clearly has two opposing ideas in her mind and one of them must be wrong. This is her journey and thoroughly enjoyable it is. I won't reveal the ending but it is worthwhile. I cannot recommend this film too highly. Anyone who thinks there's something wrong between men and women these days should watch it. Enjoy.

A liberating journey.

This is serious work and joyful to watch. Despite the prickly subject, there is a strong current of hope running throughout thanks to our remarkably likable narrator and her willingness to entertain new ideas.

Functionally, it's a superb introduction to MRA issues and an important cultural snapshot. It's also very well directed and credit must go to Cassie Jay for her excellent pacing, structural editing and measured tone.

This is not a bombastic, meme-riddled, sarcastic or facetious propaganda piece that simply attacks feminism, the kind that plagues online discussions. It is mercifully straightforward. I particularly liked the shots of Cassie simply listening to her interviewees and quietly thinking on camera. It communicated a lot.

Her cast is first-rate, with voices from many decades ago and some key cultural voices of today. There's a good mix of the righteous, the infuriating and the informative.

As others are saying, it's a must-see.

Tolerant, thoughtful, powerful and, dare I say, chivalrous. Cassie even has the balls to reach a conclusion (pun intended) and her emotional journey will be one familiar to those who have taken the red pill themselves. Brave stuff.

I can't wait to see her next documentary!
