  The Menu 2022

  ★★★★ Rewatched 20 Mar 2025

  Rewatch of one of my true faves, a mid-budget horror comedy that knows exactly what it wants to be and executes perfectly. Always entertaining and eminently watchable - even better on the second watch now that I've gotten into being a foodie. Nicholas Hoult, Ralph Fiennes, and Anya Taylor-Joy are perfect for their respective roles.

  Wonderful satire of a simple and timely message - that the best art is now accessible only to insufferable people who consume it in all…
