The concept itself is fine, however the execution is terrible. It uncritically interviews various MRAs without anyone to argue against, except people who are essentially picked from the street. There is no one of authority (e.g. a leader of an organization, an activist, etc) to speak against the talking points.
The result is a very uncritical movie where only one point of view is presented. It adds very little to the debate, as it simply represents the views of MRAs without any proper debate of them.
Moreover, it lacks numbers and statistics necessary for a good documentary.
The idea itself is interesting, but the way it is done is terrible. The host is very naive (if not maliciously misrepresenting her initial views).
In conclusion, I have to give it 1, as it is a bad, nay awful, movie by standards of good documentary, which ought to be critical (although not outright denying), honest in its representation, etc. It is not honest (it might very well be one of the most dishonest documentaries, I've seen), nor critical (with the exception of short clips where they never go into depth, nor interview activists or 'serious' feminists).
