Had potential, misses the mark

The documentary is essentially a collection of scattered thoughts from its mainly stereotypically 'emo' characters and lacks a coherent narrative for the viewer to latch onto. There was an opportunity here to show mainstream viewers how interesting and even impactful this subculture really is, and only during Kantbot's segments do we get a frustratingly brief glimpse of this.

Because of the characters featured and the choice of style over substance (flashing Wojak up on the screen every time a loser says something sad is not deep), normie viewers will sadly go away with the same 'incel' caricature this documentary seemed as if it was attempting to humanize.

score 4/10
