Ladies First Reviews

pov men discover sexism

I think I should start by mentioning the fact that I am a 'woke' feminist. That said, I absolutely hated this movie. I agree with most of the points raised, although I disagree with how they're presented, almost wholly. I mean, who is this made for exactly? The incoherent, condescending, high-school bullet-point presentation of a story turns out to be more misogynistic than the misogyny it lazily attempts to dissect. Cohen's acting is as offensive as his character, and making him unaware of his own selfishness takes out any, if not all, the blame the film constantly projects. The cinematography and soundtrack are jarring but match the Netflix slop standard. Sam Raimi's 'Send Help' effectively did more 20 minutes into its runtime than this did in its 90.

okay i’ll say i liked this only because i appreciate the inspiration of the writers to at least understand that the world is made for men and women are always a second thought. the execution however was terrible, just giving women “male traits” doesn’t exactly fix the issue lmao

7/10
good concept just poorly executed imo🙃
even though it is a comedy, i wish they added more serious scenes in it. it just made the whole idea seem like a ‘joke’, which i get is thepoint but unfortunately the actual reality isn’t a joke and should be taken more seriously tbh🫤

good intentions but terrible execution, the men not realising their own misogyny and effect they have is inaccurate, and the acting is mediocre.

Ladies First starts as a feminist role-reversal comedy, but accidentally ends up saying “anyone with power becomes toxic.” Instead of critiquing sexism or patriarchy, it just flips the same stereotypes onto men. Messy message, wasted potential honestly.

Even though I dislike Sacha Cohen as a person, I do usually love his movies, but wow was this movie bad. Not funny, boring, good message but so so overt and heavy handed. Rosamund Pike and Charles Dance were so badly wasted in this movie.
Sacha Baron Cohen can do so much better.

i honestly did not hate this. of course a real matriarchy wouldn’t look like this but what else was i expecting. was nice to see a man, though fictional, put in women’s shoes.

dumb but decent. great acting, poor script. predictable but still a bit fun. 4/10

Totally ridiculous and absurd with some laugh out loud moments. Very funny if you look past its flaws and don’t take it too seriously

the testicel-bra got me good

Extremely well done.

a very interesting taje. awoman instead of amen made me laugh

Super cute movie

Refreshing, My art project leans on this so good now.

9/10
