IslandGuru Who payed the critics

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Micitype Pretty Good

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

pinkpab Perhaps because I have read his columns and what she writes in twitter what happened to me is that her jokes were a bit "old" to me. Also some of the humor used is a bit too dirty and full of swear words, which is very popular in Argentina (and Uruguay where I'm from too), but I don't like it. Overall it's not bad, but I expected it to be a bit more funny. Having said that, it has some funny bits, the duration is the adequate one and the introduction with the song is BRILLIANT.

thesparrownet This show reads like someone typed #feminist on Twitter and then just shouted every post she saw. This is't remotely funny. She just preaches to her own choir and bullies the audience into pity applause. You get comedians like Bill Burr that can be blunt without being mean spirited like Pichot is here.It's no wonder that women are having a hard time being taken seriously in comedy when this is what's being touted as good enough to get a special. If you want a great female stand-up special from Netflix I recommend Chelsea Peretti if you actually want to laugh. If you want to become a militant misandrist who's last concern is comedy, the Malena Pichot is for you.

David Busto Malena Pichot is one of those Argentine celebrities that pays little respect in show business. She decided long ago to work and talk according to her own ideas, and she does not bend here either. Feminism is all over the place, explicit language as well. The massive amount of sharp observations and the singular critiqué Pichot provides seems aimed to really young audiences, female and male, mostly from Argentina and Uruguay. I personally praise her decision on political content over sexyness or popularity. This show in particular could, from time to time, look less polished than those of comedians like T. Noah; however, it's fair to address that Malena is not playing home, the production behind the special is not the same that's been behind "Cualca!". Compared against other specials done by Netflix in Argentina, it seems they saved some money here. It's a good start and it does provide lots of fun for those willing to hear this kind of commentary. It may not turn up so much entartaining for those unaccustomed to political satire/stand up.

Doug Burr I have to at least give her credit for being honest about what she is. Malena Pichot is an angry opinionated feminist and she doesn't care who knows it. I think she is wrong about almost everything. That doesn't have to be a problem, I disagree with Bill Hicks a lot, and he is still one of my all time favourites. However, as hard as I try to be fair to her, this is just not funny. It comes off as more of a condescending political lecture than a stand up comedy show. I found her smug tone and unearned sense of moral superiority very annoying. Bleaching the front of your hair and putting on a pant suit does not make you better than the rest of us. The problem is political correctness kills comedy. You cannot be the school hall monitor and also the class clown. Stand up comics should be the outsiders tearing down the establishment, not a part of it. You can give this woman a spunky outfit, a trendy indie club, and let her tell a few 'raunchy' dick jokes, but, the fact is this is as safe as it gets.
