I wasn’t as impressed with this film as I’d hoped I would be, but I definitely enjoyed it. The music is great, and I really liked the acting. In many ways, this reminded me of the, to my mind, extremely overrated David Gordon Green George Washington. Not just because they are both about lower class blacks and their everyday lives, but the overall tone, pacing, and direction felt similar. I admit that I had trouble understanding the parallels between the plot of the film and the intermittent scenes in the slaughterhouse, which Burnett obviously sees to be of great importance given the title of the film. I also thought the film was very funny. Also reminded me a bit of Gummo, not as repulsive, though.
