Intriguing skew in review demographics

I found this profoundly moving and beautiful. Fascinated by the dramatic gender and age difference in the reviews. Could this have to do with our American men's discomfort with the Japanese art of Kabuki - specifically the cross-dressing? Or maybe the inexperience of the young with the suffering of grief? A shame, because the performance itself is sublime.
