the menu - 9/10

i absolutely loved this movie. the marketing campaign has you thinking it will be a cannibal affair, and it absolutely is not. everyone turns in really solid performances, but extra special praise to ralph fiennes, anya taylor-joy, and especially nicholas hoult. he really shines when he's playing a bit of a creep, and he's a real scum bag in this one.

it's working in a similar world to glass onion thematically in that it certainly critiques the rich, but this does it in a more elegant way through the use of artistry and the service industry. the intertitles for each course are also great, and get increasingly funnier as the action goes the opposite way. i will definitely be watching this one again.
