"An impressive Jesse Eisenberg courts our empathy and our rage as a wounded man broken down by confrontation with the one thing he cannot fathom -- kindness."

Ralphie is young and healthy and his girlfriend is pregnant. Yet things do not feel quite right. His job as an Uber driver is neither gratifying nor financially secure. His relationship with his body may also be built on shaky foundations. When he is inducted into a libertarian masculinity cult, the tensions that have been growing inside him surface. Ralphie begins to lose his grip on reality.

Filmmaker John Trengove skillfully builds the tension and draws powerful performances from Jesse Eisenberg and Adrien Brody that make Manodrome a film to remember.

Filmography: The Wound (2016).
