“So what can you do right now, 2024, to understand the relationship between men and women? And how can men put themselves in front of the image of their symbolic d*** and try to deconstruct all of this?”
Despite the controversy, the film has generated some positive reviews from critics.
Rohan Naahar writes for the Indian Times: “Borghi is endlessly watchable, even when the show threatens to fly off the rails. He gives Siffredi, who could’ve very easily come across as a detestable man, a sense of vulnerability.
“It also helps that the character – at least the version of him created for the show – is always the first to point out his flaws. Self-awareness goes a long way in earning the audience’s sympathies because there is no bigger turn-off than watching a loose cannon fire away, without having any sense of the damage they’re causing.”
Aramide Tinubu echoes in Variety: “Supers** isn’t just an examination of one man’s life and career but a look at the lives people create, however unconventional when they dare to move through the world as their most authentic selves.”
