Review of The Menu (2022) by Habibiehakim — 21 Jan 2023

Ralph Fiennes is just always incredible everytime he plays a bad guy, a villain, a hateful characters in a good way because he is so good performing it, from Schindler's List when he play a Nazi, his most iconic one as Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter series, and in The Menu as Julian Slowik, Nicholas Hoult was much less important in the movie than I expected yet he's great and so convincing playing an **** who doesn't give a crap about anything, Anya Taylor-Joy is carrying the whole movie second to Slowik if not the first, and the rest of the cast was also fantastic, people probably expected more gory, bloody, and a real human parts to be served type of movie which I found quite predictable and also quite mainstream, The Menu is more of a poetic film, and if you combined those two it didn't work and the poetic side of it was gone, Memory, The Mess, these poetic dish was brilliant in so many ways without too much of a goryness in it, and sure I wanted to be the more bloody crazy stuff but I also fine with this poetic 106 minutes films that are still insane, intense, super well perform, stylish, and entertaining all the way through, The Menu is incredible!
