that chef in The Menu must have had the most fucked up little rat controlling him

The best thing about The Menu is knowing that in the screenplay, the scene where Margot discovers the truth about Tyler, she originally just fucking sat there silently and looked angry. Anya Taylor-Joy read the script, went to the director, and said, “No, sir. No woman would sit there silently and cry. I’m going to go fucking feral. Tell Nicholas Hoult to protect his fucking face.”

Also, kudos to Nicholas Hoult for being told “Anya is going to fly at you over the table and smack the shit out of you, hope that’s cool” and saying, “Go for it.”

One of my favorite scenes in The Menu is when the chef reveals he only invited the actor because on his only day off he watched the actor's movie and it was one of the worst things he ever watched and it wasted his entire day.

I never related to a character more.

the menu (2022) is great because it bravely asks the question “what if gordon ramsey was also jigsaw?”

you know the thing about The Menu (2022) is that so many people came out of it being like "haha eat the rich" and yeah, sure, but really the chef's issue wasn't with the rich people, I mean he hated them and wanted them dead yes, but his issue was that he had let the world of ambition take him so far from the joy of cooking that he once felt, from the art that he loved to make, because he let himself chase status and exclusivity, when really he could have been making his art for everyone, at a certain point he did not need to be cooking for rich people he could have found people who appreciated his food because they loved food, he could have leaned into the art he loved instead of the art he was expected to make with the set dressing he was expected to make it in, and that is a critique of capitalism, but it's not an "eat the rich" type critique, it's not just rich people who have had their relationship to art changed by capitalism, we all have in one way or another, think about the phrase "consuming content", we are consuming, not savoring, and what does it mean to be an artist when being an artist means being a content creator, being consumed, and what artistic principles can you really afford to have when you need to make money to live, but what principles will you forget to pick back up when you have the money, how far gone from yourself do you have to be to no longer be able to go back? What does it mean when you haven't cooked a burger for yourself, for your friends, for someone who loves a burger, because you're always, only cooking for those who can afford you? What do you cook for yourself? Do you savor it? What art do you make when no one's watching? Can you still make art when no one's watching?

but the other thing about The Menu (2022) is that they literally don't eat the rich people. Look at me. They do not eat the rich people they are all burned alive, guests and staff, and that's Different

i think my favorite thing about The Menu is how Slowick identifies himself with Margot near immediately, “service worker to service worker”, but he’s a world famous arthouse chef with a private island and she’s a sex worker who got there by accident. so deluded by his own fantasy as a self-made man that he’s lost any semblance of who he actually used to be. I think that’s what she does in the end. Reminds him of his own humanity, and therefore hers.
