The first 45 minutes or so of this film promised much but sadly it became sillier and sillier such that by the end it didn't really amount to much more in the latter parts than a stylishly produced series of scenes presumably meant to either shock or titillate the viewer but not really managing either. It became a bit like an x rated Mr Ripley Returns. Ironically it all starts to fall apart shortly after Oliver's arrival at Saltburn. There is no doubting that the central performances are very good but overall this is a superficial film, stylishly produced but with no real substance to it and not really worthy of the hype that surrounds it.
