Misogynist

This was such a good movie. Starting right from the beginning through the end there were so many twists and turns. The cast was amazing. The actors did such a good job portraying their roles and really making you feel emotions toward the characters. Disgust, anger, pity, confusion. It was really just a very well written, well shot production and I'm glad I got a chance to watch it. Danielle Lozeau ESPECIALLY was just so adorable and amazing in her role. She was very believable.. what a talented young lady. I'm glad I had a chance to be able to watch this movie and even had a chance to meet some of the actors and the very talented director.

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.

Really bad movie, no plot, nothing of any value at all. Nothing positive to say about this movie, at all. We were intrigued by an 8.6 rating. Not sure who rated it highly,but we would recommend that you watch anything else but this. There is no plot. The story barely exists, hard to say what could interest anyone about this movie. There is nothing sensual, erotic or appealing. stop now pick something else It is hard to find 10 lines of anything to write about this moving. (10 lines are the minimum required to submit a review). Did I mention that this movie was really bad. The title should have been enough, but it wasn't even descriptive of how bad the movie was.

Writer/Director Michael Matteo Rossi has caught the attention of many with his first feature film 'Misogynist'. In a current social climate that is seemingly anti white heterosexual male, it takes some guts to try to put out a film about a narcissistic, awful, violent man - which Matteo pulls off brilliantly.

Misogynist is a low budget thriller that focuses on a man (Trevor) who for some reason has a huge chip on his shoulder concerning woman. He believes they want to be controlled, told what to do and even man handled. Trevor (played wonderfully by Jon Briddell) even goes so far as to have created a somewhat secret "Fight Club" where he teaches his rules to young men wanting to know how to get laid.

Trevor befriend's Harrison, a man who recently got dumped by his girlfriend. Trevor promises to teach him his ways of women, and makes Harrison (played by Jonathan Bennett) his protégé.

Throughout the film, we get to learn the top rules on how to make women want a man. Even the most unavailable and beautiful women. What interested me the most about this movie was that it doesn't praise this sort of narcissistic, misogynistic main character's behavior. It's actually a cautionary tale, and shines a light on a social issue that has been a part of culture's since the beginning of time.

Alia Raelynn, Danielle Lozeau and Kris Black offer strong supporting roles and throughout the film there is great chemistry between all of the actors. If I had one issue with the film, it was the sound on certain scenes. A couple times the main character was speaking/whispering while his back was turned, and I had to strain to hear what was being said. I personally watch captions on every film I can, and hope to see this again with a caption option (or maybe I'll crank up the headphones or surround system).

All in all I recommend Misogynist because it is a solid first effort and tackles a subject the way Fifty Shades of Grey failed to. I really liked the ending of this film, it tied all the loose strings together. I can't wait to see what Michael Matteo Rossi does next.

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.
