“Winnipeg filmmakers Dylan Fries and Michael Sanders have created the definitive film about growing, maintaining and displaying a beard. Featuring great archival footage and terrifically entertaining interviews with various Winnipeggers on their journey to experience the triumph and heartbreak of a world-class beard.”
“Men with Beards is a character-driven film where the talking heads have serious beards and fierce opinions on identity and self-expression. The film builds up to the definitive beard growing event, the World Beard Moustache Championship. There are men, and there are men with beards.”
— Dave Barber - Cinematheque
“Haven’t walked out of a film that happy in an extremely long time. A very deep look into the truth behind the feelings of those with the gift of growth from the hair hidden lips themselves.”
— Marko
