As the years pass, I'd like to think I've been better and better at stomaching the hard to watch. As soon as I discerned, in advance, that there was no animal violence to speak of in this story about a man who makes meat his career, I thought there was little else the movie could throw at me that would phase me.
Or. Not. 'Cause wow. Wow! Yeah.
I've seen more disturbing movies in my life. And I've seen better films, this year, in the same Oscar category (:::coughASeparationcough:::). But this movie will stick with me, for sure.
I brought someone who isn't really the same crazy movie person I am - and this movie not exactly being the latest Mission Impossible in terms of accessibility concerned me a bit. But I was relieved on a couple fronts to learn I wasn't the only one amongst the two of us who really enjoyed this one. Totally impressive, moving, strong character, compelling enough story. Recommended to most. Not to my parents, but most others.
