* BrokenAesop: The biggest criticism of the film is that is seeks to criticize male geek culture's indulgence in the fetishization and objectification of women - by giving them a story that indulges in the fetishization and objectification of women.

** It's interesting to look at Amber and Blondie's characters, at least from how they appear to be. Amber appears to be the timid one of the group, and she's the most nervous before any plan. She even opts to the pilot in the fantasy sequences, doing the least amount of fighting. But if you look at what she does in the film, she proves more to be SilkHidingSteel - she's able to seduce the Mayor and think on her feet stealing the knife [[spoiler: right after Rocket is stabbed]]. Blondie meanwhile is presented as the tough one, but she's the one who breaks [[spoiler: and confesses to Blue]] - suggesting that she may not be [[BeneathTheMask as tough as she seems]].

* CriticalBacklash: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEKsTY8vuC0 The Cinema Wins video]] had this reaction towards the accusations that the film made no sense or portrayed women badly.
-->Are we so thick-headed that we need to take everything so literally? Or deep down, are we afraid of what this film is really saying? Reminding us that women are abused?...What it is is a male director making strong feminist statements. Did he do it perfectly? Obviously not, since so many of us missed the point.

* DracoInLeatherPants: Even though Blue is a horrible rapist who abuses his position to take advantage of mental patients, he has his share of fan girls - as he's played by Oscar Isaac, and has a darkly charismatic personality. The brothel scene where he does a [[TheCastShowOff fantastic rendition of]] "Love Is The Drug" certainly doesn't hrut either.

"Idiot Plot" is now Flame Bait. Renamed some tropes.

** Creator/ScottGlenn in samurai gear? [[Series/Daredevil2015 Wouldn't be the last time]].
* IdiotPlot: The plot relies on the police not trying to question someone who is suspected of assault and murder before/after sedating her and letting one of her alleged victims and primary beneficiary drive her away and institutionalize her, or for ''at least'' five days afterwards, and for an apparently ethical lobotomist and therapist to not even think of verifying the paperwork on a lobotomy that the latter didn't think was necessary before performing the procedure. And this has apparently happened multiple times without anyone getting suspicious. The movie requires almost everyone in authority to be stupid or as corrupt as Blue.

* ImprovedByTheReCut: The film in its Extended Cut form is much darker than its PG-13 theatrical version, mainly due to a stronger emphasis on the sexual harassment that the characters endure, which was notably absent from the regular cut. We also get an extra musical number featuring Creator/OscarIsaac and Creator/CarlaGugino's characters, which is seen as something as a highlight for some viewers. Both cuts received mixed reviews at best, but the Extended Cut is generally seen as an improvement.

* {{Moe}}: The main cast as a whole could be considered this for being adorable, innocent girls [[TheWoobie who are being abused in an asylum]], and coming across as rather cutesy and huggable despite the CrapsackWorld that they’re in, but two of them in particular stand out as more Moe than the rest:
** Amber is the sweetest out of everyone, has a very endearing and encouraging personality, and has a very short and cute appearance to boot, thanks to being played by Creator/JamieChung.
** Rocket is extremely [[GenkiGirl perky]], sweet, and the most idealistic out of the group, being a contrast to her more serious and reserved older sister.
