Barbacoa

Really very well done with comic quid pro quos and very funny dialogues but extremely black and gory humor. Some scenes can be very disturbing for sensitive people. It seems to have been made by French people especially for French people and not for American prudes. If you don't like it, definitely don't go see it and don't comment. You have been warned.

The movie already has a lot of titles - I wouldn't be surprised if it gets this one too somewhere (hey pass on some money if you use that! Just saying). Kidding aside - well not entirely, because the movie thrives on humor. Dark humor, but humor nonetheless. And is built on broken and fragile relationships.

The director is also the main actor in this. And while he had an even funnier hairstyle in the video message he sent to the filmfest I attended, he still looks funny and trustworthy. Which of course is a great contradiction to all the terrible things that he is "forced" to do.

If you are easily offended and triggered the movie may not be for you. The movie also says a lot about us as a society. The way we treat each other - there are a few themes hidden inside the movie that it explores quite nicely.

The plot is bizarre and unexpected-even if you've read the synopsis, you'll still find yourself thinking, "They did not just do that". And yet, somehow, it all works. While there are gory moments, they're not overdone or repetitive, so I'm not entirely convinced this qualifies as horror. In fact, what might shock viewers more are the borderline jokes and body-related humour, which fit the premise perfectly but are definitely not for all audiences.

There's a good dose of dark comedy: brace yourself for the "hunting" scenes, which are beautifully shot and absolutely hilarious. The story, despite its absurd twists, manages to feel disturbingly believable. It reminded me of Albert Dupontel's early films (Bernie and Le Créateur), where we effectively follow the perspective of a serial killer through a comedy plot.

Last but not least, the acting is stellar. Fabrice Eboué is pitch-perfect, and Marina Foïs proves yet again why she's one of the best, delivering a flawless performance even in such a daring role.

If you're in the mood for something wild and unconventional, this one will surprise you in the best way.

Stylish French black huomor movie. Dont expect much horror, more is a very good comedy.

As French Comedies I had seen lately this on of the best. Subject homself is very sensitive for. Vegans. Not reccomend it for vegans :)

This film has all of the best elements for an amazing dark comedy and puts them together spectacularly. It's truly an excellent script executed flawlessly by the actors. From the gangster hip hop playing during killing scenes to the initial nervous trepidation of the protagonist developing into confidence, it takes you on a laugh-filled journey.

I think a lot of the negative reviews may be vegans taking it too seriously, but this is a brilliant parody that deserves a much higher rating. The actors were cast so well, and really helped to enhance the comedy. The brilliant script is probably the best part of this film. Clever and subtle, without being preachy. One of the best dark comedies I've seen in ages.
