I saw the trailer for this upcoming movie in front of Men today, and I am very intrigued. It’s got the tone of a horror/dark comedy mash up and I will be delighted if it can skewer me to death
It’s produced by Adam McKay, and has some Succession alums behind the camera.
I haven’t been able to find the trailer online, but if it’s playing now in theaters it should pop up soon.
Nah haven’t seen Boiling Point but I’ll check it out!
The Menu was the first trailer that played during my showing, so yeah must have missed it. The cast looks stacked.
I liked Men–the whole ending was just one big what the fuck–and the performances were really great. I’ve always like Alex Garland’s films and how he leaves things up to interpretation. That said, I have no desire to see this movie again unlike his other movies.
It’s worth a watch. I’m not sure I agree with 99% RT but I’m pretty judgmental as I used to work in restaurants. Anything done in one take is always impressive though
I enjoyed it very much. Kinda nail on some social profiles for the typical fine dining eaters out there… Wouldn’t mind to see it again. It’s funny in a painfully sadistic way, which is very relatable. Fucking eaters which side are you @rlw
Speaking of food related movie, there is a heart warming one called Table for Six that is quite relax to watch, too. Not a master piece of sort but very enjoyable.
It just kind of falls apart for me. Like he lets her go because she requested a dish that he first cooked at his first job? And then just burns them all I dunno first two acts has me laughing third act I was like this isn’t resolving in a satisfying way.
Also i figured ppl would die the boyfriend dies off screen and the host is killed but otherwise it’s kind of thriller free.
Yeah, I see that. I think he let her go really because he recognized that she was a service worker, and thus by his qualifications wasn’t someone that needed to be “set free”. It would have been just killing an innocent person to him.
I thought the sous chef death was pretty shocking!
And counterpoint–I think it would have been even more unsatisfying if any of them had actually lived so I’m glad they actually did it in the end
I thought he let her go because she’s unlike any of the entitled and rich guests. She doesn’t care for any of the esoteric offerings he was forced to craft. In cooking these bougie food, he ultimately lost his joy for cooking. But then she was able to remind him what the style of cooking that he enjoyed…simple food like flipping burgers since he was smiling in that particular news clip.
