Review of The Menu (2022) by Barny — 09 Jul 2023

I didn't know what to think of the movie. Aesthetically it is great, acting is also good, the ending is rushed and the characters are ridiculously superficial. I was intrigued and excited on the first half, then it became meh and the ending is just a waste.

What is the point the movie is trying to make? That chefs are like cult leaders and that the rich and famous are cruel, corrupt and despicable? And they kill what the ones at the bottom love, or pretend to love, doing? And that it is okay for those at the bottom to destroy themselves and those above in a fiery blaze to purify it all?

I don't like this kind of nihilistic message: 0.
