It would've been better if this were a intelligent, comical satire, but it comes off as vegan propaganda. Plus the characters don't intermingle, and is rather a disjointed concept movie that tries to snub its nose at its own It would've been better if this were a intelligent, comical satire, but it comes off as vegan propaganda.

I don't know how to feel about this film. [***spoilers***] I like the idea of delivering the substance of the book to the screen through dramatization. But unless you root for the film to succeed, the execution is distracting. First: I don't know how to feel about this film. [***spoilers***] I like the idea of delivering the substance of the book to the screen through dramatization. But unless you root for the film to succeed, the execution is distracting. First: If, like me, you haven't read the book, the film will read it to you. A generous person would imagine this as recitative, and find it charming. To a more demanding audience, it reveals itself quickly and is instantly annoying. The characters are as multidimensional as is possible given the time in which their story is told.… Expand

Good movie! Good story line and gives you something to think about for sure. Greg K is great again but one surprising performance from none other than Bruce Willis. Here is a guy whom I typically dislike in movies giving a great performanceGood movie! Good story line and gives you something to think about for sure. Greg K is great again but one surprising performance from none other than Bruce Willis. Here is a guy whom I typically dislike in movies giving a great performance as a sales account jerk. Totally worked for me and very believable.... perfect role for him. It's too bad he doesn't take these smaller type of roles more.

It follows the path of animal meat showing the immaculate asepticity of the spaces in which it is slaughtered but also the choice of waste parts aimed at the production of hamburgers. But, and this strengthens the complaint, it also follows the path that human 'flesh' (the clandestine workers) is forced to travel between humiliations, physical risks and the need for women to bow to the wishes of males who can decide their future. A very hard film, therefore, which however attenuates its force of denunciation due to an excess of sub-stories that slow down its pace, ending up in some cases by being channeled into dead ends.
A film with enormous potential but, thanks to a sometimes good and sometimes deceptive screenplay, it does not fully express it.… Expand
