Misogynist

Michael has delivered amazingly with his first feature length film. The characters are well written and developed, storyline is well driven and laid out. The story was full of interesting dialogue. Highly recommended

Misogynist is described by its director as "the antidote to all the Fifty Shades of Grey-mania" - which is very much true, it's about dominance and submission gone wrong, about blunt sexism (if sugarcoated by a well-spoken character), and about broken characters who don't look for romance in their relationships, just about taking home a short term win. But all that said, this is not a brain-heavy movie, but rather a well-structured little thriller with some great set pieces and a finale that definitely comes unexpected, but at the same time gives good closure to all character arcs and even has some tongue-in-cheek quality to it (though I wonder if anybody notices). And add to that solid performances and a subtle directorial effort, and you get a pretty good movie, actually, and well worth a look!

Do not be dissuaded by the title or comparisons to 50 Shades of Grey. It's well acted, kept my attention from start to finish, and is beautifully shot, especially for an independent film. Jonathan Bennett surprised me with his depth/range and Jon Briddell, who I was not familiar with, was excellent. I was expecting to be shocked by the violence/brutality, but I felt the film went deeper than that and was not about exploiting women but had much more to say. If you know anything about the PUA movement, you know that people like the lead character definitely exist and are very real. The running time is only about 75 minutes but felt appropriate to the story. Definitely thought- provoking and worth a watch.

This film has a fair amount of positive reviews and I can see why!

Writer/Director Michael Matteo Rossi has definitely delivered with his first feature film 'Misogynist'. The film is highly engaging and the storyline is strong and character-driven. The cast did a fantastic job, the chemistry between the characters in scenes was very real. Jon briddell and Jonathan Bennett did a fantastic job portraying the characters and carried the film well! They worked really well together and it definitely showed on screen.

I recommend this well told indie film to anyone who loves a story that doesn't hold back and pushes the boundaries.

The other reviews giving it 10 stars are clearly written by the filmmakers to give it some gusto. What is wrong with these people?

Make no mistake, this movie is absolutely horrible. It is terribly filmed, terribly acted, terribly plotted. The cover and description are interesting, so I decided to check it out, what a bummer!

I felt like I was watching something a high schooler threw together on his twenty year old computer. I am absolutely not kidding - no sarcasm - it is actually that bad. This is genuinely something I would expect to be thrown together in a middle schooler's bedroom, using free software.

There is no plot. There's a big "twist" ending that makes very little sense, and leaves you angry that you wasted over an hour of your time. What these people were thinking is baffling to me.

No joke, this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It's movies like this that have me convinced I could move to Hollywood with ZERO filmmaking experience and make a million. Seriously, how did this movie even get printed onto a DVD and distributed?

Absolute unequivocal garbage. Don't waste your time.
