For some reason, no woman I have ever met has understood this movie. I think it might be the most... male movie ever made. And its great.

edit: and I don't think its that theres no female characters.
Because most of them have never worked in a high pressure environment and would walk out of any job like that crying in 15 minutes. It's also completely dialogue and character-driven, there's no obvious "nice guy" to root for or happy ending. There are no "lessons", none of the characters "grow" or "learn something about themselves." It's a play/movie about the misery, desperation and dog-eat-dog nature of being a man.

Fun fact about the director: he also directed Fifty Shades of Grey and every sequel that came after

Not only that - I’ve talked to women who couldn’t even understand sales commission jobs - meaning a job that if you don’t sell you don’t get paid. They really thought that’s impossible to go to a job and be there 40 plus hours a week and if you don’t sell you don’t get a paycheck. When I sold cars every now and then we would we would have a woman that thought they could sell cars and they would barely last a week. I remember one saying “I’ll do well - I have tits!” And I said “you do know women buy cars too” and of course she didn’t last a week.
