7/10
A weird and deep movie... But, is it good?
27 January 2020
"The Green Butchers" is a good movie. It's a decent philosophy about life, one's problems and death. Acting is very good and the story is good enough. Where it sadly falls apart is the comedy part of the movie and it's overall feel. Comedy is weird, and like British humor, depends mostly on you finding the absurd scenes present in the movie so absurd you feel like laughing. Well, my understanding of humor doesn't really work like that, for the most part. And I feel it really is a missed opportunity, because I found this movie on a list of best international comedies, but found so little to laugh about and more to think about. It just doesn't feel good and satisfying to watch as is the case with some other black comedy movies like, for example: "The Burbs". I'm giving it 7/10, because it's a good drama and a good movie, just don't expect to laugh that much, but rather to think and feel...
