Critics Consensus

Jesse Eisenberg does some impressive work in Manodrome, even if the story isn't quite deep or nuanced enough to support his deeply committed performance.

The cast gives their all, but the film ultimately has nothing to offer. Go to Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Nov 10, 2023

Manodrome makes all the obvious moves. Go to Full Review Christian Zilko IndieWire Nov 10, 2023

With the help of a hideous haircut, Eisenberg gives a convincing performance as a repressed loser who never discovered who he is and has officially run out of time to start. But Trengrove’s script is as directionless as his protagonist. Go to Full Review Murjani Rawls Substream Magazine Dec 19, 2023
With friends like these, who needs family? It’s exactly the problem Trengove’s feature highlights and tries to warn against. With that token, it bypasses all the deeper themes it could have used to flesh out its obvious warning signs. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Dec 15, 2023
Muddled rather than provocative, this aimless drama about toxic masculinity and related ideologies is more compelling in the setup than the payoff. Go to Full Review Akos Peterbencze The Screen Nov 27, 2023
...there's an alluring quality to Manodrome, even if it’s not explored entirely, that provides enough ammo for a thought-provoking watch. And combined with a solid cast [...], it’s a movie that deserves a lot more recognition than it’s gotten initially. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jeffrey P @vanillavoodoo1 Jun 15, 2026 Starts strong only to become a gaytway film and loses it’s footing with general audiences as it rolls into a feeble ending.

This is a stinker See more Steve W. @Hydrogeomorph Jan 12, 2026 The best acting in the crappiest movie ever. 🤷🏽‍♂️ See more Bill W @RT55041566 Dec 2, 2025 There was a lot of good acting but what a trippy movie. It was one of those movies that after it's done you say "That was weird" but not in a good way. See more ARNI S @VikingSon Nov 29, 2025 What an absolutely piece of garbage movie that I'm glad I started reading the plot. Before even wasted 5 minutes of my life watching it. Can't believe Hollywood is making oddball movie like this. The millennial generation is truly screwed up if they think this thing deserves even a half star. I have that so I could speak my piece about a movie this bad... See more Franklin L @RT94331611 Nov 14, 2025 The main character, Ralfie, is an asswipe. The movie was not very entertaining.
