Ladies First (2026)

Cute. I would like to see more of these sexist reflections of women's lives, but even what they showed looks one-on-one. In the middle, it sags a little and everything comes down to romance in the end, but overall it's nice and not stressful to watch. The actors are good, the mini-Tennant is good, the plot is good.
And oh, the girls, but they still won't understand anything.😅

Well, that. with such a cast, I expected something more interesting.

classic swap movie) cool DSLRs, and the title duet of actors is great!

Four for trying. The situations are funny, the actors played it perfectly, but the gender switch of society didn't quite work, imho, because they mixed patriarchy, the glass ceiling, and objectification into one pile. And full mirroring doesn't work well, because we return to the same male view of the world, where everything boils down to vulgar jokes and who has a cooler penis/vagina.
It seems to me a big screenplay omission that the hero did not initially try to play on the story. At the beginning, he bluntly told her that women could now get jobs for free, and theoretically, he should have started with this, and not with trying to break through with his work skills. But then it would be possible to move on to attempts to fit into society and imposed stereotypes - it would be more interesting to reveal and come up with some absurdities that would change him more externally and so on, and not just the universal "you need to look sportier."
In general, it is difficult to turn objectification against someone who has not been traumatized by sexualization as they grow up, against someone who does not perceive sex as a possible source of threat/pressure, but purely as entertainment. Therefore, even the objectification depicted for him is not so much a shocking moment of revelation/ understanding, as just a half-weird-kink, half-kink situation where you can just say that it's not mine, but generally not to worry.
And it's also a little sad that men won't understand anything anyway and will only be glad that in that world women jump on them themselves.
But of course, the absurdity of some points was well highlighted, so overall I liked it)

Judging by the reviews, the film powerfully stirred up the farts of the audience, mostly men. Without even Googling, it feels like the script was written by women and the director is a woman. There are many questions about the script. Obviously, screenwriters have no idea how to work in large companies. They think that all high positions are occupied by men, and women are silenced and prevented from making their way. In reality, of course, everything is completely different. Even from my experience in IT companies, I can say that they employ a lot of women in senior positions, and there are even more of them than men.

Critics generally blasted the film, giving very low ratings. Because it's not enough to just swap men and women's roles. In many cases, simple mirroring stupidly does not work. For example, when a man is offered sex for the sake of promotion, it is not the same as when it is offered to a woman. Therefore, the hero in this situation does not experience any discomfort at all. If you decide to make the world the other way around, then the scenario should be deeper. Special and unique situations are needed. But the script here is too lazy.

It's clear that the character changes over the course of the film. But here he is changing not because he felt how hard it is for women, but because he liked the girl and he was able to see qualities in her that he would not have noticed in the real world. It's also strange that the hero didn't have to change to return to his world. The main condition was to become the director of the company, which he is trying to achieve throughout the film. So whether he has changed or just fallen in love is also a question.

Nevertheless, if you don't analyze and compare the script with reality, the film turned out to be pretty cool. Sacha Baron Cohen and Rosamund Pike play great, the jokes are funny, the situations are funny, and everything looks interesting. That's why I liked it. I can recommend it. The main thing is not to take the film too seriously.

I agree with the previous comment, if you don't take the movie too seriously, it turned out to be a great comedy with a great cast) I laughed heartily) even the soundtrack was mirrored)

The expected rating on IMDB is that men don't like such fantasies.
Of course, this is by no means matriarchy, but patriarchy on the contrary, but still patriarchy. The creators probably didn't make this mistake out of malice when they copied the French original, but they reinforce the common misconception about feminism and matriarchy that the women's movement is fighting for the right to oppress men.
Overall, it's a great comedy, as long as not only women but also men don't take these fantasies seriously. Nowadays, it takes so little to insult women on the Internet.

The full DSLR really doesn't work 100% here, as noted above. But we've had some fun, it's already good). And subjectively, Sacha Baron Cohen is good in that world, but in ours he somehow didn't impress with his macho boss, they saw much cooler.

The Kazakhs took a better picture a couple of years ago. At least that's how I remember it morally. The filming is not Hollywood, but still — My name is Kyzbolsyn. Mirroring directly looks even creepy.

What a fucking great mirror! It was incredibly pleasant to watch. It's clear that most men are unlikely to get the message anyway, but it's nice to watch men get mad about a movie in the comments on other services.
I personally rate this film at 12 out of 10. The humor here is just turned to the maximum

A wonderful light movie for the evening! My inner feminist often giggled maliciously😀

I largely agree with the comments above – it turned out to be a very funny satire. also, Baron Cohen is here, who masterfully gets into the images in such films, ridiculing various moments.
in general, it was unusual, slightly vulgar, but still wittily funny.

Of course, the ending was screwed up and the main character's epiphany turned out to be completely off-screen, but in general it was not boring to watch. it's clear that some of the points here are exaggerated, otherwise suddenly some of the audience won't understand what's wrong)
Rosamund Pike is gorgeous as usual)

I watched the movie with great pleasure. He led my husband and me into an amazing long conversation about the place of women in society.

I was disappointed that sometimes the behavior of men in the film was too exaggerated, for example, when they discussed advertising with models, which may lead to thoughts like "well, men don't discuss breasts, models, and so on so stupidly." I agree with this, because most often it is expressed not at all in such "clownish" behavior, but on a more serious level. But I make allowances for the fact that this is still satire, an example of satire that perfectly highlights problem areas in society and mirrors some situations that are sometimes simply absurd in a changed world. You catch yourself thinking that what is happening in the changed world is kind of surreal, and then you realize that in reality such an attitude towards women is considered the norm.

A solid 10/10 to the film, I will advise everyone to watch it.

A bold satirical comedy That coolly showed what an upside-down world looks like, where women dictate the rules and men learn to cope with "reverse sexism."

Pike and Cohen just turned out to be a great duo. It looks in one go, I highly recommend it for viewing.
