Praise for Man Made
“MAN MADE upends the traditional documentary gaze… [and] resists the urge to turn the bodybuilders’ stories into narratives of simple, complete self-actualization; instead, it offers a testament to individual moments of joy—transformative in themselves.”
—The New Yorker
“Man Made offers a complex, nuanced view [of the trans experience], in a way that does a lot of heavy lifting for a small film.”
— CNN
“Intimate... touching... an affecting portrait of four transgender men... [with] a traditional sports movie climax.”
—The Hollywood Reporter
"Compelling... a penetrating documentary which gets remarkable access to its subjects... An honest, universal look at body issues and the navigation of relationships."
—The San Francisco Chronicle
“The Best LGBTQ Documentaries of 2018…Fascinating.”
—The Advocate
"MAN MADE is the rare crowdpleaser with genuine cultural value, and the largest muscle on display is the film's enormous heart…an intimate, devastating, and ultimately triumphant little movie. An assured crowd-pleaser, made with great love and insight.”
—OUT Magazine
"A rare sort of film."
—The Daily Beast
