jeezifonly Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 The Menu, in theatres and HBO. Loved it! A satirical and weird take on the relationships between chefs, their art, their staff, their devotees, their critics, and the high stress and big money that flow through the culture of haute cuisine. Subtle laughs throughout, some good improvised moments. Great performances all around. Although one performance from an actor I’ve not seen before stood out above the rest. Only one weak spot in production with some brief green screen issues. The food styling is gorgeous! (And it’s not horror, more of a suspenseful dramedy with some violence) And it has a satisfying finish! Bon appetit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ EVdude Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) It’s one weird ass movie with lots of twists and turns! Great cast. Gorgeous food styling aside… it was the simple burger near the end that had me calling Door Dash. And I’ll never ever again look at s’mores in the same light.

+ nycman Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Brilliant. I haven’t enjoyed a “kitchen” movie this much since, "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover". Thank you for the recommendation! + EVdude, jeezifonly and Rod Hagen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njguy2 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I enjoyed the movie quite a lot. Though was wondering what happened to Nicholas Hoult’s character after his kitchen scene, I don’t remember seeing him in the dining room afterwards.

kyleham Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I saw it in a movie theatre when it first came out. Wasn't what I expected but thought it was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
