Thumbnail

Forget popcorn and soda; 'The Menu' serves up something far more… unsettling. This dark comedy thriller slices through the world of haute cuisine, leaving a bitter aftertaste of class critique and artistic obsession. Ralph Fiennes delivers a chilling performance as Chef Slowik, whose meticulously crafted 'menu' is more than just a meal; it's a statement.

The film cleverly uses each course to expose the flaws and hypocrisies of its privileged patrons, and the lengths some will go to for culinary 'art'. Anya Taylor-Joy adds a grounded perspective amidst the escalating tension, questioning the value and purpose of such extreme culinary experiences.

'The Menu' isn't just about food; it's about passion, authenticity, and the often absurd lengths people take to find meaning. It’s a provocative and thought-provoking watch that will leave you contemplating the ingredients of a truly satisfying life – and maybe questioning your next fine dining experience.
