Bégan

About This Movie

So, 'Bégan' is an interesting watch. It’s a blend of comedy and drama that really plays on the tensions between family expectations and personal choices. The pacing feels a bit erratic, but it's all part of the charm, I think. The protagonist, this son of a butcher, struggles with his desire to be vegan while navigating the weight of his father's legacy. There’s a nice mix of humor and pathos, making you chuckle one moment and feel for the guy the next. Performances are solid, especially in the moments of silent rebellion against the family business. The practical effects are minimal but effective; think of it more as a reflective piece rather than a traditional narrative. It’s distinctive, for sure, in how it handles those heavy themes with a light touch.
