What is The Menu all about? Well it's described as a dark comedy horror. What does that even mean? Grim comedy with some gruesome murders?
No spoilers here team. Just a brief overview of one of the most original films I have seen in 2022.
Starring Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen's Gambit), Nicholas Hoult, Hong Chau, Janet McTeer, Reed Birney, Judith Light & John Leguizamo.
The Menu has received largely positive reviews from critics, who praised the screenplay, direction, production design, and cast performances. It's a really wild ride, where at some points you really don't know what is actually going to happen.
Ralph Fiennes is equally terrifying and brilliant all at once whilst Anya Taylor-Joy is as intriguing as she was in The Queen's Gambit.
Nicholas Hoult could play the most annoying character, however sometimes these characters get there just deserved.
It's weird, bold and at times deeply disturbing. Like the White Lotus does with annoying rich people at fancy hotels, this takes the wealthy to a fancy AF restaurant where all hell could and maybe does take place.
The Menu was an interesting Friday evening watch. I think it was all too much for me after a long ass week. That said, I did enjoy parts of it, the themes, 3 Stars. Until next time!
