All Good Things (2019)
Painful Acting
A movie has to be pretty bad for me to rate it this low. Corbin Bernsen was the only one who could act professionally. Most of the other actors were painful to watch - especially the girls' father and mother. The movie had some humorous moments in the beginning as the diva sisters experienced culture shock in the country but it was downhill from there. The preachiness was predictable and nauseating. And Morgan Fairchild's makeup for a country woman was so unrealistic. Please- no country woman dresses like that everyday. I should have read the reviews before wasting almost two hours. I hope my review saves that time.
Sacred Cow: The Nutritional, Environmental and Ethical Case for Better Meat (2020)
Excellent but needs to be longer
As a sheep producer that raises pasture fed and finished lambs using regenerative farming, I was glad to see this movie address the environmental aspects. My hope is that every school child who is being fed the Climate Change and Plantbased Food narratives would watch this. I very much appreciated the interview with the former vegan who stated that being a vegan was an identity and being exposed to other viewpoints resulted in very uncomfortable cognitive dissonance. I would have liked the film to have dug deeper on how plant based foods processing is destroying the land through monoculture. Many will disagree but showing humane slaughter of animals at the new abbatoir they profiled would have further supported the focus on humane raising of livestock. Many vegans have watched the inhuman slaughtering on YouTube; they need to see the other side. Vegans that I know also focus on premature deaths of animals not realizing the consequences of letting domestic animals live out their lives debilitated by degenerative aging diseases. (Compare wild animals.) All in all this was an excellent film and I realize that they did have to cut out a lot of content but a little more length would have given some of the issues more "teeth". The film gave me information that I can integrate in my conversations with customers and I will be reading the book for more detail.
