The Menu

The Menu has all the ingredients of a whodunnit: A group of characters meet in a remote place and get locked in a room. Something feels off. Except nobody has died. Yet.

Luckily, The Menu isn’t one of the dreaded murder mysteries that are making a comeback at the moment—no it’s a parody of pretentious haute cuisine that often isn’t about the taste of food or even feeding people but about poncy concepts. Like clothing presented at fashion shows that nobody would ever wear off a catwalk.

The Menu (2022). Director: Mark Mylod. Screenplay: Seth Reiss, Will Tracy. Cast: Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult.
