The Menu (2022) Movie Thread

A VERY dark satire on the service industry. Funny, stylish and impeccably cast. I have a feeling I'll enjoy this more with each watch.

I saw this last night and enjoyed it. I was expecting an absurd dark comedy/horror, and that's pretty much what I got. It was lean enough and didn't overstay its welcome.

I think its satirical elements could have been tighter and I can't say I felt anything for the characters at all. But I was never bored and it was well executed.

The fact that it was made by one of the directors of Succession makes sense. Same "awful rich people" vibes. This was sillier, but similarly entertaining in a biting way.
