Review of The Menu (2022) by Ancientamber — 16 Jan 2023
To paraphrase a line from the movie, it's an intellectual exercise made without love. It's decent fun but I failed to care about anything that was happening. The subtext (made explicit) of class conflict has already been done to death and writers should have something more interesting to say than "eat the rich".
A braver film would have made us care more about the upper class characters and introduced more moral ambiguity. That feels like a missed opportunity.
