Review of The Menu

The Menu (2022)
9/10
A delightful escape
18 November 2022
(I'm sorry for any fool references) This movie is exactly what was called for now. Like some food and tastes, you have to give it time. Don't be afraid to laugh. There is so much dry wit and outright sarcasm, let your laughter out. (I was in a theater with little laughter.) Hands down Taylor-Joy, Houlton, and Fiennes gave fantastic performances. Not to spoil it, but Hoult's performance was simultaneously annoying and fantastic.

The play between Taylor-Joy and Fiennes is well worth the price. You simply wanted more from these too because it was the best part of the movie.

Hong Chau and Leguizamo are a delight. Though, Leguizamo is a tough swallow. He is still a delight.

It was wonderful to see Judith Light on the screen. She played her part perfectly.

Would I see this again, not in the theater. But I will see it again.

Laugh... don't think about the rest of the theater, this is a wonderful dark comedy.
