Although Netflix original movies are successful, many of their licensed microphones are excellent. Although his return to action, with Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx, has been No. 1 for a long time, I’ve been more interested in the smart movie that’s lately No. 3 on the list, the 2022 menu.
We’re almost halfway through the 2020s, and I’d actually say that the menu is one of the most productive horror comedies in this decade. It’s slightly incorporated into this genre, but the horror-comedy is pretty much as close as it gets, but it’s a black comedy, of course.
It has a casting that includes its two tracks that have exploded in popularity since its launch, Nicholas Houl , of all time, the Queen’s Gambit, in 2020. Ah, and I argue that it also has Ralph Fiennes as the central leader in question. Conclave star? The film that is about to get a lot of Oscar?
The Menu is…bizarre in the best way. It has an 88% critic score and a 76% audience score, very good, but I think it deserves even higher. Here’s the synopsis which does not really do it justice either:
“A couple (Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hault) to a coastal island to eat in an exclusive feeding place where the chef (Ralph Fiennes) has prepared a sumptuous menu, whole with shocking surprises. “
People . . . dinner at an elegant restaurant? I admit that it does not sound like an exciting impulse, but I can promise that it is difficult to know what to compare it, however, I can say that Nicholas Cage’s pig, perhaps the invitation. Midsmarmar? There are a lot of equivalents, but that is what makes it so special.
I cannot recommend this film to everyone as it is deeply weird and as a black comedy, definitely not laugh out loud funny (I’d say the ending is), nor is it “horror” in the traditional sense you’re probably thinking of. But if you’re a fan of the weird and well-acted, I definitely think this is one of the most interesting movies I’ve seen in the last few years, and it’s worth a watch if you can get past the fact that it may not actually sound that good from these descriptions. Just trust me.
