I believe this is being released to Netflix this week! Looks like it could be a really interesting story and I like the big stars too, Jake looks bonkers!! *-*

Really excited to see this.

 

Hopefully it's good!

This is out today, really looking forward to watching it!

I thought this was absolutely excellent, some of the scenes really got to me (the baby super pig being freed at the end !! :cry:). The acting was solid from everyone, the little girl lead really carried the film and I thought Tilda Swinton was absolutely electric, had me captivated right from the very first scene. I think Jake Gyllenhaal is going to be VERY marmite in this film but I mainly enjoyed the performance, the parade scene had me cringing a fair bit but the unhinged personality was very effective at other times, namely the torture scene.

 

I'm a bit shocked at all of the criticisms saying that this is just a feature film acting as a veganism advert though, the leads are often scene eating finish and the OTT vegan is actually the butt of joke! I think the themes it is much more trying to convey are problems with capitalism and corporate crime and I think it did it pretty well. Would definitely recommend seeing this if you've got Netflix, glad I renewed my subscription recently :cheer:

I watched this on Sunday and also enjoyed it... it wasn't the most amazing thing ever or anything but a solid 7.5 out of 10 type film. I thought the messages were pretty reasonably balanced - and it wasn't particularly sensationalised or anything, more just portraying a pretty realistic picture for me. I thought all the characters were pretty well portrayed, agree with you Josh that Jake will be marmite. I didn't feel the character needed to be as eccentric as he was, it felt a bit like I was watching a character from a Series of Unfortunate Events.
