The Menu is probably the most original movie of the year. A group of snobby critics and foodies are invited to an uber exclusive dinning experience by the world's most renowned chef.
It's not what you think it is, it's actually so much better.
The cast sells this one. Chef Slowik (Played by Ralph Fiennes) tells a story through his facial expressions alone. Anya Taylor-Joy was amazing as Margot, she was clearly given the role of "straight man" that was just not taking any of this. Half the fun was watching her react to those around her. Hong Chau was her amazing self and every second she was on-screen was a delight.
One interesting thing about this thriller is the humor. This movie is genuinely funny, not accidentally but intentionally funny and yet they never break the suspense or tone.
Warning, if you're going to watch this sneak in a burger. You'll need it.
