Honestly, "The Menu" is a wild ride from start to finish. The movie blends horror, comedy, and thriller elements in a way that keeps you on the edge of your seat, but also makes you laugh at the absurdity of it all. Ralph Fiennes as the chef is just magnetic, he's chilling, charismatic, and you can't take your eyes off him. The way the story unfolds is both surprising and intense, with each course of the meal bringing a new twist or layer to the plot.But, let's be real, while the movie is a lot of fun, it's not perfect. Some of the characters feel a bit underdeveloped, and there are moments where the satire feels a bit too on-the-nose.
The film tries to balance its dark humor with genuinely creepy moments, but not all of them land perfectly. That said, it’s still a highly entertaining watch, especially if you’re into something a bit offbeat and twisted. It's one of those films that sticks with you, even if you’re not entirely sure what to make of it by the end.

It is a production that progresses with strangeness and does not appeal to me much.

How good can a food movie be?

Was it the chef who made the burger himself or was it his brother or something, I wish it had been a little more enlightening. They didn't really focus on the chief's life.

I wish the subject had been opened up a little more. ok critiques etc. Maybe, but I would like to know more about the chief.

The ending was really bad however the climax was really good
Kilerbite
And a strangely good film it is a horror and a drama the presentations of the dishes are well done the reasons are justified but I say with pride these were one of the best 1:47 minutes spent I love it

Criticizes the rich folk, okay. Humiliates who don’t respect the art of cooking, alright. Punishes liars and cheaters, got it! But please, I really don’t think it’s any more profound and meaningful than that. I don’t like the sort of movies that make me feel worse after watching. It’s not that it has to be cheerful, but it has to contribute something to me, anything; maybe a lesson, a different perspective, or nothing tactile but a feeling. this one made me feel empty and dark. I could’ve wasted my time better.

There was a really strange idea. I don't even know how to interpret this movie. But I think one of the ideas is that the more you interfere with the food and try to add something different, the more it is lost. All right, I say watch a good and weird movie.

It’s captivating and you never know what to expect. But it also could have been better. , the plot.

Vey overrated, I expected more than a weird and senseless movie. Left a lot to be desired.
Lala
The menu left a weird aftertaste
skazov
I like it, it's a continuous movie, although not much horror, the dose of tension was good
OlegION
Well, a very strange idea - fanaticism of the highest degree.
Raters
It is a pointedly absurd, funny and suspenseful chamber-piece thriller with strong performances and a sharp edge. The Menu satirizes the world of foodies, but also delves into the story of a frustrated artist at the peak of his creativity, yet still unfulfilled. While the themes are not always clear and some parts could have been more developed, the film is still good.
siasherpoito
It is a pointed criticism not just of the fine-dining experience (which is in the midst of a reckoning) and the culinary world but also of the wider society. An interesting and jaw-dropping black comedy comparable to Palme d'Or laureates Parasite (2019) and Triangle of Sadness (2022).
There were moments, however, when the magic of sarcasm was lost to bluntness and brevity.
juliacbateman
Crazy twist halfway through but loved the filming of it and the ending was satisfying
mauriciolidio
"The Menu" is a thought-provoking film that holds you in the plot from beginning to end. Despite having an acidic tone and a total criticism of the nonsense, or even "whiteness", of the elite, the film ends up in some moments becoming as "intellectualoid" as what it criticizes.
pafnutij
The film was a full bouquet of emotions. From "cool, cool idea" to "dude, what's going on here at all". Definitely will not leave anyone indifferent. 5 for the idea and emotions, 3 for gaps in the storyline.
