Carnage is ludicrously funny, but not that poignant on an anti-carnism agenda. Amstell's narration (and voice in general) seems to trivialise everything he says, which works well for the comedy. In fact the film contains as much criticism over the influence of celebrity and the idea of class, as it does about veganism. I laughed out loud several times, but I'm still a carnist and proud.

What the hell is this lunacy?! Knowing that writer/director Simon Amstell is vegan himself, I'm BAFFLED as to why he would make a mockumentary about veganism. WTH? It uses the same type of tone-deaf persuasiveness it ridicules in the film--to make a point? Why would a vegan activist make this film? As a vegan myself I feel ridiculed. Not offended, just perplexed. It's a pretty anti-vegan film. No meat eater will get anything more than confirmation bias from this film. Horrible ineffectual humor.

I'll eat anything, dead or alive, but this was still fun. edit: 3 days later, I just watched "The Misfits" (1961), and I think that stirred me more in the way of animal rights. (but perhaps this loosened the lid)

Few little in-jokes but seemed to me that any non-vegans are likely to leave with a wobbly grasp of carnism. Guess they're unlikely to watch a web-only vegan propaganda film anyhow.
