I've watched it at MOTEL X Film Festival and I felt surprised about this French movie. The plot would be so disturbing if was just a serious drama. Some Like It Rare knows how to transform the disturbing and gruesome elements in comedy. I've never laughed so much in a movie theater like when I was watching this movie. It's full of funny scenes and the humour always work... Except if you don't like dark humour, because in that case, Some Like it Rare isn't for you. The only problem is the ending. It finishes too fast. I think would be so much better if they added a couple of scenes before the ending.

Resuming a subject treated by American movies such as "the farm" (2018) and the hilarious " motel hell " (1980) "Barbaque" (French slang for meat) applies it to the current mode of the veggies/vegans vs meat gastronomy. Well ,you may be,like me ,a veggie ,and appreciate this exciting farce ,provided you have a good sense of (black,of course!) humor ! The poor butchers have their store attacked by a vegetarian : they take vengeance on him by run him over.... And the best way to get rid of a dead body , it's to eat it; so they sell him as "pork from Iran " and the customers find it so delicious that they ask for more. So they begin to hunt for raw material. There are scenes which will make you heartily laugh:the meal with the son-in-law and his reproach (a nightmare !) ; the slap at the factory farming meat sold in the large store of the couple's so called friends; the lectures by an eminent professor on the awful bloody killers -the last one is a stroke of genius . Apart from the obligatory song in English (here Steppenwolf's "born to be wild" ) ,because of the dearth of chansons françaises, "la barbaque" takes us far away from the feel good contemporary French comedy ,off the beaten track ,which is fine with me ;a last piece of advice:don't watch it when you're having dinner ,veggie or not.

"Vegan's Ham" was produced in 2022. This is gore and comedy. One day, a man who works at a butcher kills a radical vegan who attacks his shop. He turns vegans into meat and sells it. The meat becomes very popular, so he start to attack vegans. At first, I thought this film is about the action of radical vegans, but the content is very comical and the atmosphere is not so heavy. But the action of the main characters are truly terrible, they do what a human being must never do. So people who value ethics should avoid watching this film. I think it is quite original and interesting that the story is of a couple's relationship improving and their lives becoming richer through murdering. It's also interesting that the way the characters are killed is a little disappointing. I don't really like the ending. Since it's a comedy film, I want it to remain a comedy until the end. Finally, there is a dog in this film, but the dog doesn't die.

This darkly humorous comedy is a great success. It tells the story of a butcher couple who are on the verge of breaking up, but whose relationship is saved when they are confronted with a new meat that they will serve to their customers who love it. Fabrice Eboué dares a lot in this politically incorrect film where culinary beliefs are confronted with other beliefs. The film is rich in showing terrorism, sectarianism, beliefs, racism, in different forms, and always in a disrespectful way. It is good to see that it is possible to shake up the politically correct way of thinking. The film also makes fun of the fascination that serial killers provoke. Fabrice Eboué is both an excellent actor and an excellent director. And finally, by his treatment of the various characters, manages to make this couple sympathetic. As well as the character of the policeman who investigates, while eating all the time! It is not subtle, but the subject does not call for subtlety. And it's funny and horrible, amusing and jubilant, and horrible in the gory sense of the term, even if Fabrice Eboué avoids bloodshed and is more in the suggestion (which does not harm the film at all, on the contrary). A film that is good for its directness and its extremity. Because Fabrice Eboué goes to the end of his subject and the end of his characters. The film contains its moments of anthology, including the montage-sequence of the animal report, for example, or the first meeting during a meal of the boyfriend of the couple's daughter.

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.

In the black humor register, bloody, lethal humor, I admit that I prefered C'EST ARRIVE PRES DE CHEZ VOUS, starring Benoit Poelvoorde, it was more disturbing than this one, maybe too comedy oriented. But it is daring for the French movie industry to produce this kind of film, which is also speaking of a modern issue, at least in France: vegan actvism. It is entertaining, well edited, fast paced, with sharp dialogues but with sometimes weak acting from supporting characters. You can watch it during your meal, even if you cook and eat red meat, this is not really disgusting, not nasty enough. To summarize, comedy takes more place than dark and bloody elements. It remains worth watching though.

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 :)

If this wife wasn't so incredibly uncomfortable, I would have really enjoyed this movie. Her behavior was hardly bearable. If only she had been a beautiful sight.

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.

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.
