Leave your thoughts about The Menu.
| Original-CinThom ErnstThe Menu is the most entertaining ensemble film since Knives Out, and the most engaging horror-satire since Get Out. But no matter what comparisons and assumptions are made, The Menu will not be the movie you expect. |
| Paste MagazineMatthew JacksonThe complexity, both tonally and visually, is there to tease out the film’s black genre heart, and it’s that heart that makes The Menu a delicious and deeply filling experience that will make you beg for a second helping. |
| UproxxVince ManciniIt’s a perfectly-cooked cheeseburger of a movie, which isn’t trying to be foie gras seared on a hot rock over a bed of foraged botanicals, but in which every element — bun, patty, cheese, veg — is lovingly prepared, perfectly executed, and working together in perfect harmony. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerSoup to nuts, The Menu is satisfying and rich, yet lean and cutting. |
| Screen DailyWendy IdeSubtle it’s not, but it’s maliciously entertaining. It turns out that revenge on the ultra-wealthy is a dish best seared over a naked flame. |
| IGNRafael MotamayorThe Menu is a hilariously wicked thriller about the world of high-end restaurants, featuring a stellar cast led by a phenomenal Ralph Fiennes, some of the most gorgeous food shots in recent film history, and accompanied by a delicious hors d'oeuvres sampling of commentary on the service industry, class warfare, and consumerism. |
| The Seattle TimesBethany Jean ClementFor the right audience, The Menu also succeeds as satire of the darkest possible, hilarious kind, best served with plenty of popcorn. |
| ObserverRex ReedBizarre, original and loaded with revelatory surprises with every turn of the page, The Menu uses the culture of haute cuisine as a metaphor for the spit-roasted values of high society, with results that are vicious, delicious, and horrifying. |
| RogerEbert.comChristy LemireThe Menu remains consistently dazzling as a feast for the eyes and ears. |
| The AtlanticDavid SimsThe Menu is unique, because it casts Slowik as both hero and villain. He’s not wrong to simmer with hatred for his elitist customers, but he’s also seething at the fact that he has, in fact, become one of them, propped up by the very system they created. |
