The subject is so grim you may find that you've forgotten to laugh.

Gruesome as it may sound, Butchers is a likeable, well-made film and a genuine comedy.

You 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.

While it's got a refreshingly dry, nasty tone, the film is never quite as funny as it needs to be.
January 21, 2005 | Rating: 2.5/4 -
It's much ado about mutton.

Neither funny nor outrageous nor horrifying nor conventionally affecting.

Audience Reviews for The Green Butchers

Dec 06, 2010The second out of three films directed by Danish Anders Thomas Jensen and my second favourite after ADAM'S APPLES. Equally dark, equally funny, equally unlikeable-yet-somehow-likeable characters (this time its two butchers butchering acquaintances to keep the business open). The plot is just as wonky as his other films, just slightly less unexpected. But thats a minor quibble, like comparing pigs to pigs when you love pigs. Just watch and enjoy, it's way past time the man directed another one.Lesley N Super Reviewer

Nov 06, 2007This is a huge surprise. I have to say that I believe this might be the first Danish film I've ever seen in my life. I'll be looking for more. A beautiful mix of dark comedy and the seriously elevating power of love. In the end, this is less a comedy than it is a moving portrayal of forgiveness in the wake of tragedy. Just a fascinating mix. I can't even think of a film, off the top of my head, where such an emotional blend is achieved in such an interesting way. Flixsters, this is a must-see.<p>NB: If you do watch this, be prepared to deploy a healthy willing suspension of disbelief.Lanning : Super Reviewer
