Leave your thoughts about The Green Butchers.
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealDenmark may not have any Coen brothers, but it does have one Anders Thomas Jensen, and he's more than enough. |
| Denver PostMichael BoothYou might not want to dine with this group, especially if they brought the meat. But it's OK to play with the knives a little. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...considering the premise, this is a remarkably accessible little film. |
| Jam! MoviesDerek TseIsn't for all tastes, but it's well worth digging into -- if you've got the stomach for it. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldWhile it's got a refreshingly dry, nasty tone, the film is never quite as funny as it needs to be. |
| Film Freak CentralBill ChambersFor a comedy, that most culturally-specific of genres, the Danish production travels remarkably well |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonGruesome as it may sound, Butchers is a likeable, well-made film and a genuine comedy. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellThe subject is so grim you may find that you've forgotten to laugh. |
| User ReviewFx PSuperbe film avec un humour noir qu'il faut savoir du prendre du bon coté... peut-être perturbant au début, mais on s'y fait vite. Perso, j'adore!!! à voir |
| User ReviewBrunibalda ZAn Anders Thomas Jensen's film!!! Really, do I have to say more? |
