Cook F**K Kill (Czech title: Žáby bez jazyka, Slovak title: Žaby bez jazyka) is a 2019 Czech-Slovak comedy-drama film directed by Mira Fornay, starring Jaroslav Plesl,,, Bohuslav Zárychta, Jan Alexander, Jazmína Cigánková, Irena Bendová and Roman Lipka.
The film premiered at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival on 23 November 2019.[1]
Demetrios Matheou of Screen Daily called the film a "boldly-executed absurdist comedy, which tackles its central theme – domestic abuse – in a manner very different to the usual gritty realist approaches, with provocative, sometimes discomforting results."[1]
Martin Kudlac of ScreenAnarchy wrote that the film is an "original and fearless vision and formalistically idiosyncratic work, unsettling without being didactic, topical and timeless while addressing a pathology inherited within the society, eerie fatalism infused by dark humor."[2]
Alissa Simon of Variety wrote that while the film is a "tad too long and definitely not for everyone", it is "without doubt Fornay’s most ambitious and stimulating work."[3]
