 There's one that always flies under my radar. This was definitely it. Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys. Hey guys, this is my review for the menu. This was a thriller film that came out towards the end of 2022. That's where all finds Anya Taylor Joy, John Leguizamo in it. I really wish I had seen this in theaters. I had a chance to but it didn't work out and I wasn't able to see it before the end of the year. Lo and behold, of course, the day I think about seeing it, I see it's on Disney Plus. Guys, this would have been in my top seven. This would have pushed out Barbarian for sure. This was such an enjoyably fun movie because not only are you constantly kind of questioning what's going to happen next with how the film's going to progress, I actually love the writing in this film. Every single person in this film is a asshole. The film follows a bunch of these foodies and these connoisseurs who get on this boat, who get taken into this private island that is hosted by this master chef, played by Ruff Fiennes, who has a bunch of chefs who live on the island and they all are masters of the craft and this is a meal that is literally the die for. Amongst these people are celebrities who are kind of washouts, big food connoisseurs but also kind of pricks about it, crypto bro people and previous people who actually have a lot of shady past to themselves. No one in the room is a clear cut person except for Anya Taylor-Joy who was kind of a last minute addition due to the date that she was taken on by Nicholas Holt. Her slight surprise to this day kind of throws things into a little bit of a perspective. While this appears to be a very fancy, very up your own ass kind of dinner, it is far from what it appears to be and as the night divulges into madness it is very fun to watch. Some people could maybe kind of make a comparison about like ready or not or another one being your next and there could be some comparisons drawn to those films but I do feel that the menu actually does have a bit of originality to it in terms of the very very obvious critique on the food community. Not only the people who make it but very much the people who write about it and the people who talk about it. Every single person in this film is an asshole. To a different degree it depends on what you find to be an asshole, a person who thinks they know how to do their job, a person who literally has the ability to make and break places because they're not up to their standards, are people who are completely full of their own garbage but eventually have to finally realize that they are not who they appear to be. Whereas Anya Taylor-Joy is just kind of this person who does have some false hints about her but she is not in this selling realm as others in the film. I do like the actual personal touch to this. The very much wackadoo kind of idea to it that starts to build as the film goes on towards this crescendo. If there was any kind of complaint I would maybe have is just the leniency that happens. I do like how it occurs. I like how it works. It's a little bit hard to stomach at the end which I know it's funny to say that when it's a movie about food but there are there's just particularly something that happens in the climax that it's just like really? Really? That you know everyone's okay with this? Everyone's good down with this? Otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed it. I enjoy the humor. I enjoy the commentary. I enjoy the acting. I enjoy the writing. Aside from the ending just a part that's towards it and maybe a little bit of the middle you are constantly at a concern of what's going to happen to everyone. There are a few bits that I was able to call but even then I only was able to figure like kind of see what was going to happen maybe like 30 to 30 seconds to a minute before it actually happened and that was rare because again this film had me on the edge and I feel that this film definitely had me going had me going for my money a lot more than other films this year. It certainly was a thriller maybe a little bit of a horror idea that I kind of would have liked to see more of. Something of this caliber would not work as well maybe a second time it's a very finite kind of idea very much like food and it has to have been made and prepared in a certain way to make it to make all the aspects work and I feel that there are so many parts in this film that could have gone wrong not just in terms of the casting not just in terms of the directing but also the writing very very much so the writing but everything does work to a degree that makes it quite enjoyable it's not a superb super I'm going to talk about this movie all the time kind of movie but it's something that should have been a dinner conversation kind of film or a water boiler film because it does have some interesting elements to it. I do kind of wonder if this has any kind of resemblance to the Severance show that's been getting a lot of popularity I still have to watch that but I don't know I might be totally out to lunch on that comparison please correct me if I'm wrong but in the end my review for the menu is it's a five out of seven it's a very solid five out of seven I would highly recommend it it's very enjoyable it's very fun they're going to be taking a bit for a loop in terms of how the film progresses and once stuff starts going you're going to be on the edge of your seat for it and you're me laughing at least I was laughing I don't know if that makes me weird did you guys see the menu what did you guys think about it let me know in the comments below otherwise guys that's all for me I hope you enjoyed this review if you did leave a like and if you're just more subscribed until then see you guys next time
