MANODROME is a US drama in which an expectant father, struggling with the pressures of providing for his family, finds solace in a mysterious group of men.
violence
Strong violence includes various shootings, with impacts that are just off-screen or seen from a particular distance, but which are accompanied by spurts of blood and aftermath detail. Other violence includes crunchy beatings, as well as a scene in which a man reacts aggressively towards his pregnant partner, including punching the wall near her face.
language
There is infrequent use of very strong language ('c**t'), accompanied by more frequent use of strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker'), and other milder terms ('bitch', 'shit', 'ass', 'asshole', 'piss', 'Jesus', 'God' and 'damn').
sex
Scenes of sex include thrusting detail, but lack nudity. In a suspenseful sequence, a man meets with an older, more experienced man for sex; the young man appears nervous about engaging in anal sex, which is met with impatient encouragement from his partner.
discrimination
The film explores toxic masculinity and the repression of a man's sexuality, with scenes depicting him lashing out at gay men, and in one scene driving recklessly through oncoming traffic while inebriated on prescription medication after he witnesses two men kissing in the back of his cab. A sexual encounter with another man ends in strong violence.
Other discriminatory behaviour involves scenes in which a cult-like group of men, often proudly, express misogynist beliefs and language (e.g. 'c**t').
sexual violence and sexual threat
A man exposes his penis to another in a busy street.
additional issues
There are references to a young boy being abandoned by his father. A character is seen buying prescription medication from a dealer and occasionally consuming pills. There are scenes in which the same character suffers from severe anxiety, which causes him to lash out, strike himself across the face and punch nearby surfaces. There are also scenes in which the character looks as if he might take his own life. Male buttock and full frontal nudity is seen in some scenes in which men occupy showers and locker rooms at a gym.
