THE MENU (2022) Grade: C+

Had some intrigue in the start. It was lacking a hook, a reason, backstory. The ending was that cool either. Better grade cause there are some good acting and wow moments.

The Menu (2022)

The Menu (2022, dir. Mark Mylod) - review by Rookie-Critic

I walked into The Menu expecting a horror movie that may be overly critical of people who consider themselves "foodies" with an ill-willed message about how overly saturated everything has gotten with food, but that's not what I got at all. What I did get was a deeply dark comedy about idol worshipping in the food world and, as seems to be a popular theme this year, how affluence has affected food culture and divined food as a benchmark for status and clout. I think my favorite bit about it tackling this particular theme as it pertains to this film is that it does so on both sides of the aisle, putting just as much emphasis on the misdeeds Ralph Fiennes' Chef Julian Slowik and his staff as it does on the rich people dining at his restaurant. The one exception to the film's ire is our protagonist, Anya Taylor-Joy's Margot, who is brought into this world from the outside. She's not a part of this rich world of small portions and exorbitant prices. That being said, Chef Slowik is not without his sympathetic moments, and by the film's end you can almost consider Taylor-Joy and Fiennes as co-leads.

The wit of the script is fierce and constant and mean-spirited, sometimes to the point where it's walking on a razor's edge between having fun at the expense of people who just like food and foodie culture and people who crave food as a status symbol, but it never tips the scales over to the "malicious towards the innocent" side, which I always appreciate in movies satirizing a subculture. Much like Triangle of Sadness, the film's message can be boiled down to "rich people = bad," but what sets it apart from Triangle is that The Menu manages to be a bit deeper than that in showing a character that very clearly started their journey with the best intentions, but lost their way at some point to the chase for clout and respect from people that don't matter. This and tackling something that's a bit more niche than just the wide umbrella of affluence set The Menu apart, and outside of some pieces of the film that I'm still trying to parse out meaning from and a few other little nitpicks that I won't mention here, it surprisingly soared above my expectations for it. This one is highly recommended.

Score: 9/10

Currently in theaters only.

Horror Movie Review: The Menu (2022)

A young couple who visits an exclusive destination restaurant on a remote island where the acclaimed chef has prepared a lavish tasting menu, along with some shocking surprises.

 The Menu is a 2022 American black comedy horror film directed by Mark Mylod, written by Seth Reiss and Will Tracy, based on an original story created by Tracy. Foodie Tyler Ledford and his date, Margot Mills, travel by boat to Hawthorn. Hawthorn is an exclusive restaurant owned and operated by celebrity chef Julian Slowik, located on a private island. The other guests attending the dinner are…

Film after film: The Menu (dir. Mark Mylod, 2022)

I read this financially successful film as a lower-key companion to the same year's splashy Triangle of Sadness and Glass Onion, each of which satirizes, with a significant amount of venom, those who are the most blatantly wealthy. The Menu is technically a morality tale that, while entertaining and smart, somehow doesn't astound, while it likely has everything to easily pull this off. Among the supporting cast, Chau and McTeer get the most interesting moments and lines, while Hoult gets most of my attention as one of the three co-leads, moulding the most recent iteration of his screen persona (courtesy of The Great) into something meeker, sleazier, and sadder altogether. This film should be more: funny, scary, insightful, character-driven. It is not, and it's fine.
