What delightful surprise! Satire cinema seems to be one of those things just works for you or just doesn’t. This worked like a charm for me. I was throughly entertained. I laughed out loud often, felt a bit unnerved at times, and was just very satisfied with The Menu’s dark sense of humor and execution. It’s also legitimate well acted. Fiennes was damn good and Joy gives one of her best to date. Everyone was great though. I will definitely be revisiting and analyzing this one again! Brilliant.

Up until a certain point, this movie is great. When the mystery of what is going on is first unfolding, it is compelling. Then at some point it's mostly revealed what's going on and it starts going through the motions. The commentary is fine for what it is, but I can't put it up there with the best satire by any means. Fiennes and Joy are great, with Fiennes being the highlight. It's always "good" but definitely loses steam. I ate less than I desire, but more than I deserve.

If it made a lick of sense, I might be able to consider this well-made. But aside from the impossible logistics of this event (the whole crew, really?), what is the point of view here? Class warfare at all costs? Everybody is an empty vessel, functioning like an ingredient in an exploitation pic that tries its hardest to be socially relevant when all it has is fancy nihilism.

A mad surreal satirical horror that chimed quite well me on a few levels. I couldn't quite get over the preposterousness of it all, but when I was able to park that I really enjoyed it. I'll probably need to watch it again to see if I get more out of it (or I might end up hating it). There might be a few chefs that we see on telly finding some of this a bit close to the bone...

Neat little black comedy clearly written by someone who's had it up to *here* with fine dining and all archetypes of horrible patrons, you might find in a Michelin starred restaurant. The finale didn't quite land, with the joke/twist feeling somewhat banal compared to the rest, but as a whole quite enjoyable.

I noticed that this and Burnt feature an odd and almost out of place nod to the common man that doesn't necessarily fit the narrative but in both instances worked to affect me. Does this mean I'm nothing more than common? It absolutely does; whether that makes me any less pretentious is the real question and one not easily answered. I've both searched out my city's best escargot and had my wife do a blind taste test on fast food burgers. I also write movie reviews, sometimes seemingly à la carte

Part class satire, part escalating multi-course horror, The Menu cleverly mimics the form of an Agatha Christie chamber piece, with Hercule Poirot holding the immaculately sharpened butcher knife. The comic beats of The Menu are a little ragged at times, volleyed among a ensemble that needed to be more defined to be an effective chorus for the script. The film fares better as a tightly constructed exercise in horror, like a cross between a Saw movie and The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover.

My predisposition to liking this due to the cast aside, I was genuinely impressed. I gave myself to this goofy concept fully, and I guess the sheer magnetism of the combination of Fiennes, ATJ and Hoult kept it afloat even as the exposition ramped up and the dust settled on the narrative. Mylod is known mostly for television - indeed this felt like it could have been formatted as a miniseries - but he nails the atmosphere and the comedy, even if the social commentary is a tad undercooked.

I chuckled a lot while watching it, it's a funny/ tense film, not subtle at all, but enjoyable. The performances were great! It's another of those explorations of art and commerce that can be applied to food, filmmaking (wink wink) and any type of spot where money and passion and ideas clash. I quite loved Margot and Anya Taylor Joy's performance, but the film is loaded with great performances (Fiennes! Hoult! Chau!)

Manipulative, populistic, nihilistic...and close to psychotic as in the psychotic smirk of self-content that our protagonist flashes (a "victim" of capitalism and "patriarchy") when everybody else dies in an explosion at the end.

Taylor-Joy is a great actress who consistently plays characters I dislike. The Menu is a fun ride, though the satire doesn't quite translate into poignancy. The film pits those who serve against those who consume in such a way that equates petty grievances (Carrero not having any student debt) with fraud & workplace harassment. Overall the film looks great, has plenty of witty dialogue & manages to deliver a convincing sense of foreboding before flying off the rails. Entertaining, but flawed.

A great surprise. I was expecting a horror film but this isn't really that. It's truly odd, a satire on the pricey "foodie" world & Fiennes deserves an Oscar for his portrayal. He's a lunatic murderer you feel sympathy for almost exclusively because of how Fiennes plays him. Only Anthony Hopkins can convey this amount of inner sadness w/ just his eyes. The film isn't always plausible but as a satire, that's not the goal. The humor is pitch black, so your mileage may vary but I LOL several times.

Hard for me to rate because I have family in the Michelin world, so this barely meets my definition of satire (I once dry-iced emulsified corn purée to resemble fungus on an edible chicken log with duck foam) and I know the level of mental strain and illness that’s also part of the game, and that stung a bit. But that’s also why it kind of works. It’s keenly aware of the insane power imablances in celebrity kitchens; the final girl is the only one who restores the equilibriuYES CHEF.

With The Menu, Bodies Bodies Bodies, and Triangle of Sadness, 2022 reminds me a lot of '99-'00 when a bunch of satirical social commentary flicks hit mainstream cinema -- American Beauty, American Psycho, Fight Club, The Matrix, Office Space. Well paced and quite competently acted, I was somewhat surprised to find myself enjoying the simpler black comedy in The Menu more than the more refined takedown of class and privilege in Triangle of Sadness.

Director Mark Mylod and writers Seth Reiss and Will Tracy are careful not to be too arch with their easily-mockable subject matter; although the characters and dishes are broadly satirical, they're also generally believable. I do think this might have benefitted from being a little more unhinged, particularly in the last third which feels like it's simmering when it should be sizzling. But on the whole, I had a great time watching this.

The first courses are a sumptuous treat of unsettling anticipation, but the main course’s social commentary is clumsily mixed. Luckily, this broken emulsion is just one of the many dips served by the film’s chef, and there are fine flavours of humour, performance, and thrill to taste instead. Smooth, mostly clever, and funny.

Good enough dark comedy that could've been better and more biting in every department. The script seems very involved with the culinary pretentiousness and the set is equally marvelous, but this is not exactly like one of the chef’s own elaborate, carefully designed, and fairly pretentious meals; it’s more of a light meal, like a well made cheeseburger. It will leave you feeling satisfied, perhaps with less than you desire, but more than you deserve.

Because the structure (as dictated by its concept) is more episodic by nature, it leads to a weirdly mechanical feel. Throughout, the satirical elements are displayed rather than explored. Hard to not compare this to Triangle of Sadness, which (despite its absurdity) has a logical progression to its linear narrative and shows criticism of class through character decisions and reactions. Along with me never finding this overtly funny like many, at best this achieves a cartoonish tension. Mediocre

Film review 🎬 "The Menu" I've seen a lot of "eat the rich" subject matter lately and while normally I find them dull and unstimulating as the portrayals are comically transparent, I found this one to be FANTASTIC!! It's equal parts a suspense thriller and surprisingly funny. Found myself laughing a few times while also being on pins and needles with tension.

Falls to a common problem with allegorical movies as well as satires where the meta story overshadows the actual story.The tonal balance between horror and comedy just makes the comedy feel unnecessarily cruel and fiendish. The “Eat the Rich” movement in society is already a little sinister and I am unsure if this movie builds up or satirizes that, which leaves me with the kind of unease you feel reading a Reddit comment section on a r/JusticeServed post.

Didn't care for the satire aspect but still enjoyable. Gripping story although it's quite predictable. An alright directing. Some dialogues had a bit too much cliche Hollywood vibe. Overall, worth a watch. Wasn't expecting much anyway.

Some of its satire (star-status of chefs, cult-like following of the brigade) works better than the rest (eat the rich), but it's an incredibly tense movie, well-acted and maybe even more beautifully shot than what it mocks (chef's table). Not perfect, but unsettling and worth watching.

When I was a kid I feared for the actors in the movies I watched on video, like anytime I played them, Little Orphan Annie lived through that shit over and over again. This fear has been exhumed in The Menu, this intimate and delightfully devilish little satire that plays with this notion of revisiting customers in - to rehash an old Eddie Izzard bit - a house of cake & death.

I can’t get a grasp of my true feelings towards it. There is something to it but most of its causalities don’t work and the characters are too shallow to generate anything worthwhile. Quite weird that it came out just around the time “Triangle of Sadness” did.

Well paced, well acted and deliberately demands that you pay attention to the details. Much like the social satire, the film layers itself through the courses and becomes increasingly more horrific while doing so. What starts as a slight uneasy feeling about the status and wealth of these people eventually gives way to an understanding they have all lost their touch with reality. A series of horror themes help you learn just what the elite can cost everyone when they begin to feel entitled.
