Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
爆浆喜剧，反讽素食主义者，挺有意思。大多数夫妻之间的生活会逐渐无聊化，需要通过刺激性的东西激活一下。
题材和角度都很有意思，肉食主义者食用素食主义者真的太搞了。缺点是节奏慢，虎头蛇尾
如果说《新鲜》只是一个变态传奇，那《肉罢不能》更像一种极性社会的反向控诉。
为什么才7.4？这么好的电影，反战、反迫害，哪怕就当悬疑来看，也很优秀啊。比小说留下的空白还多。我也喜欢小说
男主角太拉了，反观素食主义者们，甚至比男主角更强，至少他们敢反抗。
太有趣了，就是这结局为何像我国拍的阉割版似的
讲个笑话吧，法国猪肉牛肉的消费关系到巴西雨林的存亡，所以法国人决定为了拯救巴西雨林改吃素食主义者，完美逻辑！
十分推荐，作为电影来说拍得非常工整，没有一个镜头和细节是浪费的。
有法国电影独特的浪漫，有黑色电影的荒诞，有血浆残肢的猎奇，有前后照应的细节，甚至还有对《人肉叉烧包》电影的致敬和对黄秋生扮演角色的效仿。似乎什么都不缺，男女主表演也很合适，配角也很讨厌。电影通过极端的食人的行为，道出了极端素食者的伪善，并且在素食与肉食之间徘徊反思，并没有单纯地认为：肉食者鄙。但电影缺乏原创性，食人的设定，很多文艺作品都有，从《绝代双骄》《人肉叉烧包》《沉默的羔羊》到《小镇滋味》，食人设定已经数见不鲜，素食者的肉非常鲜美，这是原创。影片中间把动物世界捕猎与男女主捕猎素食主义混剪在一起，《超体》电影中有。至于电影中对于极端素食主义的嘲讽也是老梗。综上所述，就一部可以食用的下饭爆米花“美食”电影。PS：不建议吃饭时观看。
荒诞不羁，怪诞不绝，精彩不断，欲罢不能。影射某些现实的虚伪，讽刺某些人的虚假，更是某些“伪主义”的真实写照，吃肉的人并不全是残忍残酷的，要用包容的胸怀坦荡面对现实。电影拍摄手法较为新颖，也是第一次在外国电影中力荐中国电影，而且还是港台经典恐怖惊悚片《人肉叉烧包》，必须点赞
凑合看，消磨时间，可以看到对现在政治正确的反讽，基本也限于口嗨，想要得到更深入的思考，可能就是缘木求鱼了
女主属实变态啊怎么落网的没看懂…
真实与幻觉融在一起，分不清哪些是哪里。人可以疯了，但精神意志还都在，底线守住了，仍然是人，或许还可以有未来。
刀第一个时太卧槽了，伊朗肉很好吃啊，欲罢不能啊！
人类花了几万年爬到食物链顶端不是为了吃素的
挺有意思的，人的精神世界很奇妙，有时候一直被锁在一个地方反而会提升专注力，不过影片中男主确实异于常人，将象棋变成了拯救自己的最后一根稻草，象棋大师就好似心魔，战胜心魔抗住压力就不会泄露密码，这是一场与敌人的博弈，更是一场与自己内心的博弈
把一个政治不正确的话题拍成长篇喜剧电影很尴尬，用舞台剧效果会更好
这剧情可以说是一鱼两吃了，既嘲讽了魔怔化的极端素食主义者，又批判了极端口腹之欲无止境的欲望
人们天真地以为，只要维也纳还在跳舞，世界就不会毁灭。他们不知道，原来要将一个人摧毁，可以这般轻而易举，兵不血刃。而人类用了多少年，耗费多少智慧和精力，才建立起来的文明高塔，也同样如此脆弱，不堪一击…
如果有遗憾当然是那个明媚午后，胸前流淌着草莓味儿融化冰淇淋的小维尼了。那是何等美味啊～多汁滑嫩没有世俗过分侵扰的不寄存情绪毒素的肉身～这所谓毕生遗憾！手里的汉堡索然无味……肉是有等级的！而我吃的一直不好。
