Going a way

Manodrome (2023)

Written & directed by John Trengove this film stars Jesse Eisenberg, Adrien Brody and Odessa Young. A troubled young man with a pregnant girlfriend falls under the sway of a group of men going their own way.

I was very impressed by Trengove's previous film, The Wound, however this one falls a little short. I am not sure the film ever really gets to grips with the toxic masculinity and the group depicted is the type that would operate more online than in real life. The ending was a little bit out of place for my taste as well even if it does take some of the ideas presented to their logical conclusion.

3/5
