Watch The Green Butchers For Free

hyped garbage

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Names like Mads Mikkelsen, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Anders Thomas Jensen - they are gripping to follow even individually, but when/if together... Thus, the result is catchy, both script-wise and performance-wise: "nasty" elements are not prevailing, there are several twists and turns, witty lines, smoothly and logically progressive plot, distinctive characters with splendid acting (apart from Mikkelsen as Svend and Kaas as Bjarne/Eigil (particularly the latter), supporting actors like Nicholas Bro and Ole Thestrup give memorable performances as well). Except the ending which is without a final twist, De grønne slagtere bears the finest trends and elements of British-type of black comedies, and it should definitely earn more praise it has earned so far. Despite the fact that the main topic - cannibalism and related activities - is not to everyone's taste. Besides, I wonder how many viewers have abandoned shopping in butcher's shops, or become vegetarians even... :)

"De Grønne Slagtere" (aka "The Green Butchers") is a great Danish comedy that has a twist of very dark humor to it. Why? Well, because the movie has some really hilarious characters in it, and also the storyline is very bizarre - about two misfit butchers who open up a store and become famous for their meat, human meat that is.There is a lot of funny situations in the movie, many of which are really well carried and delivered by both Mads Mikkelsen (playing Svend) and Nikolaj Lie Kaas (playing Bjarne and Eigil). These are, of course, the main driving force in the movie, but they are well accompanied and supported by people such as Ole Thestrup (playing Holger).The movie is set in a small town in Denmark, and it actually depicts such a community quite well, well aside from the murdering and turning corpses into food, of course. The movie does have a cannibalistic topic to it, but it addresses this with a great sense of humor, and that ghastly topic is not really the main issue for the storyline. So thumbs up for director Anders Thomas Jensen for managing to pull this movie off as nicely as he did."De Grønne Slagtere" is definitely a comedy that is well worth checking out if you enjoy comedies that are supported by a bizarre and twisted storyline. I warmly recommend "De Grønne Slagtere".

While being extremely well made, especially for a dutch movie, the Green Butchers lacks humor. However, it is a well made and worthwhile film, but with nothing special to offer. The acting is good, the plot is good, very reminiscent of Delicatessen, but without the cinematography, setting, or heart. It has some drug use and cursing so it is not a kids film, and the topic is dark enough so that I would advise people easily turned off by gore to avoid the Green Butchers. However, it was a treat to watch, not many quality Dutch films are available, but lacked the dark humor necessary to really keep this film completely afloat. A nice attempt, and with its bright spots, but I could put myself into this movie, and ended up observing it and not truly watching it.

I thought this would be a fun comedy with no sex or nudity in it. Well, there's no sexual content but as for being a "fun comedy," I only remember laughing a total three times during "The Green Butchers." The hilarity is centered around cannibalism and mental retardation, which is just sick humor, in a bad way.I should have walked out of this film and I'm kicking myself because I didn't. In fact, I shouldn't have seen this movie in the first place. The only good that came out of this film was was the fact that Bjarne and his brother finally made amends and put their ugly past behind them. I advise any well-meaning individual to steer clear of this gross-out flick.
