With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for fans of deadpan, fly-on-the-wall comedy and anyone who wants a laugh. Shot like a documentary, played completely straight. If you loved Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die or Sleeper, start here.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Light on its feet, at 1 hr 5 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
It's 2067, the UK is vegan, but older generations are suffering the guilt of their carnivorous past. Simon Amstell asks us to forgive them for the horrors of what they swallowed.
