The film centres on a radical feminist group plotting a revolution to overthrow patriarchy in Germany.[1] It is thematically linked with LaBruce's shorter film Ulrike's Brain, which premiered in the Berlin Film Festival's Forum program in the same week.[3]
On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 71%, based on 38 reviews, with an average rating of 5.4/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "The Misandrists mounts a memorably gonzo assault on the patriarchy — one whose wild ambition and outré aesthetic are often enough to cover for its uneven execution."[4] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 56 out of 100, based on 11 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[5]
