Review of ‘The menu’, for palates willing to do anything

The rise of the foodie in general culture, and on the Internet in particular, it deserved a sour twist. Good delights like ‘Chef’ (2014) by Jon Favreau, and spoon thrillers like the wild ‘Hierve’ (2021) by Philip Barantini, left room for a more self-aware dish, something like a trompe l’oeil that shows us the naked emperor and, precisely there, is where ‘The menu’ wants to make us sink our teeth.

The proposal is simple: a couple attends a bombastic and exclusive dinner that quickly turns into an all-too-real experience, a torturous game in which the chef, a corseted but funny Ralph Fiennes, forces his diners to risk their lives. Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult prove that together they are even more irresistible than apart according to This satire on the upper classes and those involved advances plate by plate, hooking us more for the use of monosodium glutamate than for a presentation that lacks a homemade dessert. what to share online You will come back?
