The Menu
A suspense movie. Released in 2022. Directed by Mark Mylod. It stars Anya Taylor-Joy. Ralph Fiennes and Nicholas Hoult appear in it. I watched it at Movix Kameari in December 2022.
The wealthy guests together have the quite
unique full-course dinners served by a highly expensive restaurant, whose seats
are difficult to reserve, managed by a mysterious first-rate chef in an isolated
island. The film depicts how the restaurant gradually treat the guests in
abnormal ways.
I remembered the flicks Midsummer and Seven
during watching it. Some of the grotesque scenes terrified me a little. It is tragedy
rather than comedy.
I am not a gourmet, so I had not planned to
view it, however, I got interested in it when I knew that Nicholas Hoult acted
in it. I have taken notice of Hoult since I realized that the handsome and excellent actor had played a sassy
boy when he was little in my favorite one About a Boy after I watched Rebel in the Rye at a
theater in 2019, so I came to want to see him on a big screen for the first
time since then. He gave a superb performance as the difficult role in his new film.
I want to do him acting again if I have a chance to.
Margot is the only person who is decent and has dignity
among the rich guests who all have flaws. Anya Taylor-Joy gave a good performance
as Margot. I did not like her so much when I did Last Night In Soho last
December and Amsterdam last month, however, she looked really cute in the
latest film, though it was maybe because young and attractive women did not appear
in it except her. Anyway, I was impressed and charmed by her peculiar beauty, especially
her sharp eyes. Moreover, the cheeseburger that she bit into looked delicious
more than the sophisticated and seemingly expensive dishes.
Ralph Fiennes passionately played the eccentric
chief chef. His performance was wonderful as well as in The King's Man
which I viewed last March. He is a brilliant actor.
