Manodrome lacks depth as social commentary or character study, largely because of how it positions us in relation to its protagonist’s perspective.

Jesse Eisenberg in Manodrome

Manodrome lacks the depth and social commentary found in movies like Taxi Driver and Fight Club due to its lack of voiceover narration.
Jesse Eisenberg's performance as Ralphie, a character struggling with his identity, is a standout in the film.
Unlike movies like Taxi Driver and Fight Club, Manodrome fails to challenge the viewer's own perspective and morality, resulting in a movie that is relatively toothless.
