The Menu 2022

This movie is a mixture of genres put together and it worked. First off; Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy are excellent in this movie and that alone should convince you to go watch. Secondly; it might not be for everyone but if you like to stay guessing as to what's to come and you enjoy the thriller/comedy genre, this one could be for you.

The story progresses in such a way that it becomes darker and darker very gradually. Like a menu it is served in courses. It's disturbing in the way that you feel there is something off the entire time. The climax is great and honestly... Chef might even be a bit relatable in the way that he is just so fed up with the elite that he snapped. Murder aside though... because he went full bananas there.
There is a subtle comedic tone to the otherwise grim story which I really enjoyed as well. I feel like they could have easily made this movie very dark and bloody but chose to focus more on the overall vibe combined with some 'shock' moments.

One of the better movies I've seen!
