How is the world wrong about this movie?
From Andras: This movie is NOT a bummer. It’s funny and thrilling and moving and yes, the villain is the meat industry. Not sure why this scares more people than if it were about a serial killer or a tornado. If you’re afraid this film is going to make you feel bad about eating meat, don’t worry. I’m pretty sure it won’t stop you.
