How is the world wrong about this movie?

From Andras: Let me count the ways. When it was released, this wickedly funny feminist satire was marketed to teenage boys. It has since been re-claimed by its rightful audience and yet I don't think its creators (Cody & Kusama) get the credit due to them for the impressive filmographies they are amassing, or for this particular cinematic blood stain.
