Guardian

It is a slight, lightweight film, gruesomely hilarious in places, with one or two echoes of the Coen brothers’ Fargo.

Rated: 3/5

Audiences will be laughing one minute and gasping in shock the next. Like the perfect sausage recipe, writer, director and star Fabrice Éboué blends comedy, violence and horror seasoned with a bittersweet romance at the film’s heart.

Rated: 4/5

Flickering Myth

Some Like It Rare is a simply structured but surprisingly effective black comedy, that will slay you with its dark humour and disturbing content.

Culture Mix

Some Like It Rare is a brutally funny satire that lampoons the cultural divide between meat consumers and vegans. A horror comedy about cannibal serial killers could have been mishandled, but Some Like It Rare is a skillful balance of macabre and mirth.

Some Like it Rare is filled with laugh out loud funny moments. The jokes can get very dark, but they are never used solely for shock value. Everything services the overall story about a failing marriage and the idea of having control of your own life.

Vincent und Sophie sind Metzger, jedoch läuft es zwischen den beiden privat und beruflich nicht mehr. Während ihre Freunde eine erfolgreiche Metzgerkette führen, können sie sich kaum über die Stange halten. Bis eines Tages sie einen Veganer überfahren und durch einen dummen Zufall verkaufen, lösen sich ihre Probleme in Luft auf. Doch sie brauchen Nachschub, gelingt es ihnen ihr Unternehmen und ihre Beziehung zu retten? Veganer schmecken besser - Erst killen, dann grillen! ist eine schwarze Komödie aus Frankreich. Die Frage ist, werden Veganer, diesen Film mögen oder füllen sie sich angegriffen? Der Film stellt Veganer, oft als Radikale dar, was einigen nicht gefallen könnte. Jedoch macht er auch auf bizarre Weise klar, wie krank und unverschämt es ist Lebewesen zu töten. Es gibt hier viel zu lachen, so werden Menschen richtig gejagt und überprüft, ob die Gesund genug sind oder frisch. Für den Film muss man schwarzen Humor haben, aber einigen wird dieser Humor nicht passen und könnte sogar, dazu führen, dass Leute den Film skandalisieren. Wer schwarzen Humor hat und endlich eine gute Komödie aus der Neuzeit haben möchte, sollte diesen Film schauen.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I'm on and off with French cinema; some of its oeuvre I just can't get down with, but this is the funniest horror comedy I've ever seen, and that's not hyperbole. I've never laughed so hard. Who knew the French could be so freaking funny? Brilliant.

The movie was quite funny and enjoyable until it became blatantly transphobic. The story start well but really goes nowhere after the halfway point and the ending is just lazy.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Some Like It Rare is a terrific film that blends horror and comedy more seamlessly than most. Even as the horrific deeds are done and the blood flows freely, the hilarity doesn't stop. This film is a treat, with excellent performances from the leads and supporting cast alike, who absolutely sell the carnivore/vegan conflict as more than simply a disagreement, but unhinged mortal combat. Well directed, with excellent visuals, an inherently silly plot, and joyful buckets of blood and body parts, the film moves smoothly from showing endlessly patronizing and thoroughly amusing vegans pontificating (or attacking violently) to their appearance on someone's plate or in a display case. More than just funny in an ironic or tongue in cheek manner, the film is genuinely hilarious, plenty gory, and should be viewed by genre fans as a particularly tasty morsel.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
