Humane

Entertaining and thought provoking but the lack of critical lore made it a little bit too phony. Still worth the watch.

A chilling social commentary disguised as a family thriller. Set against the backdrop of an environmentally ravaged Earth, the film throws us into the heart of a wealthy family grappling with a government-sanctioned euthanasia program to curb overpopulation. We follow the story of Peter, a once-celebrated news anchor now facing the prospect of entering the program. As his family grapples with this dark reality, cracks begin to show in the seemingly "humane" facade. The film masterfully builds tension through a combination of social commentary and psychological horror. The luxurious homes of the privileged stand in stark contrast to the desperation of those on the outside. The ever-present threat of "Humane" hangs heavy, casting a shadow of doubt on every interaction. "Humane" isn't afraid to get its hands dirty. The story takes some truly disturbing turns, highlighting the potential for social control and the lengths some will go to in a desperate situation. The parallels to "The Purge" are undeniable, but "Humane" feels more insidious, a slow-burning descent into a society where "culling" becomes normalized. While the film might not offer easy answers, it provokes thought-provoking questions about resource allocation, euthanasia, and the ethics of survival in a world on the brink and how some enjoy the chaos as it plays out.

Clever premise, beautifully shot and excellent casting/acting, but overall the plot and the supposed payoffs weren't believable. I get that it's a dystopian thought experiment, but within that framework the character's motivations turn on a dime, new information is constantly revealed and/or hidden, and the over worn lip-service to modern tropes eats up more screentime than anything satisfying about this movie. Potential Spoiler: There was a moment about two scenes before the credits where Cronenburg could have ended the movie with a powerful if controversial statement, and instead lingered about with two indulgent epilogues that squandered all of the tension. Nothing was learned.

Filme ótimo gostei muito amei e já assisti mais de três vezes gráficos ótimos bonitos e detalhados

Great cast, good storyline, and it was worth the watch. I wasn't disappointed.

why where they hiding from the sun? why wasn't it explained?

pretty good "gov't is lying" movie and a great choice enrico colantoni for bob. the mundane way gov't goes about the eradication of those it deems unwanted, just like in real life today. i understand how this movie is being trashed by the algorithm cause they would prefer you didn't watch it.

Promising for a short time, the film soon begins to fall apart due to the lack of credibility of what it is showing us. It simply isn't credible, and therefore doesn't engage you, it doesn't get off the ground. The characters and situations are written in a predictable, almost clichéd way. As a whole, and despite the efforts to enjoy it, the predominant feeling is one of boredom and disappointment.

The story is interesting but the acting is really, really bad and ruins it. Never liked Jay Baruchel.

Spectacular. Eco-horror with dark humour and great choice of soundtrack throughout.
