Lush cinematography, a variegated musical score, a tight ensemble cast, and strong psychosexual themes makes this movie quite the cosmic ride! Emerald Fennell with new indie film, Saltburn, does a great job, here. The story centers and is narrated by Oliver Quick, played masterfully by Barry Keoghan, who attends Oxford on a scholarship in the mid-2000's and befriends, Felix Catton, a handsome, rich, elite played by Jacob Elordi, who invites Oliver to his palatial residence, Saltburn, to wile away the lazy days of summer and mingle with his eccentric family. This movie has some jarring scenes, to put it mildly, and may repel some and titillate others. Everyone who I was with in attendance tonight were totally drawn into the Catton's world and many clapped after the movie was over. Another movie that may continue with a cult following??? Only time will tell. All I can say is go see it, take it in or spit it out and make your own judgments! Brava, Ms. Fennell for another brilliant work with fine acting and direction!
