"Manhood" is as much about the mental health of these men than about the size of their members. That provides the emotional component of the film and what makes the subjects sympathetic.

Memorizu is a simple, gentle, and subtle drama about life unfolding. Its poignant tone conveys the feeling of looking through a photo album and reflecting on the past or taking a photo to capture a moment or freeze a memory in time.
