Among Men is a minimalist documentary that finds its progressive value through thematic deconstruction rather than demographic variety. By centering a non-human subject, the film disrupts traditional anthropocentric hierarchies and critiques the cruelty inherent in human social morality. While the film lacks the multi-layered human casting necessary to address LGBTQ+, racial, or ethnic diversity, it uses its subject to highlight the vulnerability of those outside the social contract. The narrative structure effectively utilizes a metaphor for systemic neglect. Ultimately, the work functions as an impressionistic study of social indifference. It trades traditional character representation for a broader critique of how established human institutions treat the underrepresented.
