A young troubled man is introduced to a male cult. When an amateur (Adrian Brody as cult-leader) tries to cure him from some deep and hurting trauma, the trauma takes full control. Things might even become worse when day-to-day life is stressful, like becoming a father and seeing your wife give over to postnatal depression. The trauma is out and Ralphie (Jessie Eisenberg) can't take back control. Things desperately go out of hand. Every day becomes more painful than the previous one. The cult-leader gives Ralphie a gun as a present. But guns can be very dangerous. This movie is a thrill from beginning to end but in a shocking way. - I doubt if many women will like the movie because all the men in Manadrome are victim of abusive relations where the women were the abusers. As was Ralphie. I suppose the message is that abuse by women in relationships is probably very common but somehow people don't speak much about it.
