7/10
A comedy for an eco audience
10 May 2024
Edit: okay some points and intentions still stand, but I realised that this is a vegetarian film and they literally milk cows in the beggining, yikes.

This was a lovely movie that I did not expect to find in Lithuanian. I heard about it from a solarpunk reddit. I have never watched a fictional vegan comedy with vegans travelling interstellar, but it's not vegans being made fun of, the rest of the earth is. This movie understands all the little annoyances that come with being vegan and presents them in subversive ways which a lot of current activists documentaries right now can't do, but there is nothing wrong with those. This movie manages to be completely different and stand out. I long for vegan fictional movies and I am not sure how to find them because for example this one wouldn't show up in vegan movie google results.

I love the French language and eco-feminism. This movie is a combination of many great things. I can't imagine people unfamiliar with veganism enjoying this, some environment might get a little more out of it, but this is a piece of media that's been made for vegans. This is something I have not experienced while growing up. I wish there was a plethora with movies like this and a higher quality of jokes that do not make fun of minorities, but rather make fun of the world and its oppressions.

It is so baffling to think that people have been going vegan way before I was born and yet the progress made towards veganism is so little, instead of this being the most important topic and on everyone's minds we have football, video games, anime and other addictions. Some video games and anime are dear to my heart, but most of them are violent and the ones I love always subvert the material, genre and do things outside the norm.

I laughed out loud while watching and the movie keeps you on your toes and goes to a lot of unexpected places. I hope it becomes more popular as more people turn to veganism.
