Our Review Editorial
Theroux points his famously unhurried curiosity at an ultra-masculine online network and the influencers who run it, and the method is the appeal: rare access, no holds barred, and an interviewer content to let people talk until they reveal more than they meant to. Ninety-odd minutes is enough to map a subculture without pretending to solve it, and the register stays observational rather than scolding, with awkward pauses doing the work narration usually would.
For viewers who follow documentaries about internet subcultures, radicalisation, and the economics of online influence, this sits squarely in the sweet spot. The pace is conversational, built from encounters rather than montage, and it asks you to sit with discomfort instead of being handed a verdict. Anyone hoping for a straightforward takedown may find it too even-handed; anyone who values a documentarian who listens first will find it the most useful kind of unsettling.
