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.

You don't think Chef is mad at me, do you?

Would you spend $1,250 for a meal? Please say no, because after seeing The Menu, we’re convinced that no good could come from it. But apparently a whole lotta good can come from putting Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Nicholas Hoult together. A recipe for success!

Mini-review:

I expected The Menu to be a twisty but fairly straightforward thriller comedy, but what I got was a completely different experience that managed to truly surprise me. For starters, the movie is very unsettling almost from the very first scene, and that feeling keeps gnawing at you more and more as it goes on. The score, the acting and the cinematography keep you on your toes and do a great job at making sure the viewer knows something is definitely not right. The whole thing just feels so surreal, almost like some sort of fever dream, which is something I didn't expect at all based on the one trailer I had watched. All of that is put in service of the movie's themes, which might be pretty obvious, but also interesting and necessary. I won't say anything else about them, though, cause I think it's best to know as little as possible before watching this movie. Anyway, The Menu is a pretty solid and surprising black comedy/thriller.

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.
