Our suggestions
Margot and Tyler (Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult), a young couple, travel to an elite, remote, coastal island in order to dine at an exclusive restaurant where a mysterious chef (Ralph Fiennes) has prepared a lavish, expensive menu. But it soon becomes clear that the pretentious, pampered dinner guests are about to be served some shocking surprises. Consumerism takes on a hilariously scary meaning in this dark comedy that features Hong Chau, Janet McTeer, Judith Light and John Leguizamo in an all-star ensemble cast. The Menu is directed by Mark Mylod, with a screenplay by Seth Reiss & Will Tracy.
"Starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Ralph Fiennes, and directed by Mark Mylod (known for directing episodes of series like Game of Thrones and Succession), this acerbic satire of the world of gastronomy starts with a simple premise: a group of wealthy people embark on a small island where one of the most exclusive and sought-after restaurants in the world is located, but they discover that the main dish is a macabre and violent revenge. Why? Each of the visitors has their own crimes to pay, and the revelation of each one is the thread of this narrative that, by extension, also satirizes the world of art and cinema, cornered between indiscriminate consumption, canned production and the most elitist snobbery."
