It's ok, though she's done better
bustozoni7 March 2018
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.

Not bad, but I expected more

Warning: Spoilers
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.

This isn't a comedy special, it's a Twitter rant.
thesparrownet7 March 2018
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.

An excellent stand up comedy in spanish about feminism
emailgoofy23 June 2020
I think it might come on a little strong at first, but it is a great effort to tackle real life issues, through comedy.

This isn't slapstick or superficial comedy. This is essentially an attempt to create more awareness about feminist through comedy.

I find the jokes to be great and laugh a lot. However I understand that due to the fact that patriarchy is so extended, it might be hard for some people to come to terms with the jokes.

I applaud Malena's efforts to take on such a complicated subject and make such great work of helping us see hard truths though laughter.

Congrats! I've watched it many times and still laugh a lot.

The worst thing i comedy
buyichi11 March 2018
This is the first review i wrote in my entire life, i´ve seen bad movies, but this is the worst. It tries, so hard, to be funny, but it isn´t at all, I am a person who laugh with everything, until I watched this and then realized there is something that don´t make me laugh... a comedy wich isn´t comedy and clearly contains messages of hate.... If i could gave it less than 1 start, i would.

An explanation
nyannyan-0166317 March 2018
It's fresh and acid, she's always been like this. The fact that people see this as a bad thing makes my blood hot like hell. also, having "Malena Pichot" as a title it's a clear sign that this is totally feminist.

Angry woman trying to be fun
nicoweht11 March 2018
I saw this and think she is just a woman with a superiority complex. Only dick jokes and cheap humor level.
