George is the scapegoat of his classmates. One day he cracks and shoots them. His best and only friend Blaise is accused in his place and sentenced to 7 years in a psychiatric hospital. At the day of his release, Blaise realizes he only has one family: his best friend George. But he does not want to hear about his childhood friend, as he tries to integrate with the “Chivers” a gang whose members wear red jackets and boots, drink milk, drive sport trucks and play an incomprehensible and violent game that mixes cricket and mental arithmetic.

Steak Audience Reviews

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
transoptical This is beyond satire and far into an alternate reality where caricature is an existential esthetic, where plasticity stretches actual truth to the point of a laughing death. The acting here is pristine and drowning in situationism. "Steak" kicked my yarbles into orbit.
klickonn I watched Steak and thought it was pretty stupid, but then I found myself laughing at some of the scenes a couple of days afterwards. I immediately saw the movie again (it's on YouTube) and credit where it's due, this is a funny and original film.The 'gang' is just too funny, they're bad but in the most clean-cut way. Eric Judor is excellent playing a very convincing simpleton who tries to impress his peers.Steak is not for everyone, but if Airplane and Caddyshack make you laugh then this movie probably will too. It's not often you can say that a movie is uniquely funny, but Steak is. The French Canadian element makes it a bit different and all those American college movies are parodied brilliantly.Chivers!
valbrazon I already have seen others movies with Eric and Ramzy and it's pretty fun when you are around ten years old. "Steak" doesn't offer the same humor as the duet offered in their previous movies.The story talk about Blaise who is sent in a psychiatric hospital by mistake and come back after few years in town. His friend Georges is in a gang named "Chivers" and all the peoples of this band has to do plastic surgery. A day, Blaise will do a plastic surgery by himself and will have a place in the gang, but Georges will leave it and become jealous of Blaise.This movie is not fun, maybe only one or two sentences will give you a smile but that's all. It's also different from others movies for it's dullness. There is a reference to the movie "A clockwork Orange" of Stanley Kubrick because the gang only drink milk.A movie to avoid, really.
WesternEyes Surreal and funny, Steak ticks all the boxes for a bizarre, very alternative comedy. Not by any means a family film, nor a mindless drivel comedy that wholly relies on sex gags for a cheap laugh. Steak has unfairly received negative reviews from critics who obviously couldn't see beyond the veneer. I believe this was partly due to poor marketing and selling it as something it just wasn't.Ultimately, the film is about friendship and starts out with Blaise being committed to a psychiatric facility for eight years. When he is released, the only family he has left is his childhood best friend, Georges. Over the last 8 years Blaise has been away, a lot and nothing has changed: Georges is trying his hardest not to be bullied at school and does everything to join the coolest gang around, Chivers, yet he is still a loser and wants nothing to do with Blaise and the dynamics start.The film has a solid story, beautiful cinematography, fantastic soundtrack and an all round vibe that just works. You like the characters you're supposed to like and dislike the ones you're supposed to dislike. The humour is sharp and witty, with a silky daydreamy idleness to it. It is definitely not your run of the mill comedy. Smart Clockwork Orange references are the strongest tongue in cheek parody, but you will notice little nods to other classics too without turning into a cheap rip off.I watched a copy without subtitles and whilst my french is awful, I still got full enjoyment out of it. It's very rare to find a film that is equal in style and substance. Whilst I was horrified to see such negative remarks, I feel my rating of 7/10 is wholly justified and unbiased.There are some fantastic little touches that make you smile, like spit roasting eggs on an open fire and the radio controlled frisbee. This is how the future should be. Versus the apocalyptic near-future in Children of Men, I'd choose the Steakivers future.Fun, beautiful, quirky, cool, light but far far from middle of the road.Unique. 7/10
