*“Director Mark Mylod satirizes a very specific kind of elitism here with his wildly over-the-top depiction of the gourmet food world.” Christy Lemire, RogerEbert.com*
At $1250 a head, an evening at Hawthorne is an indulgence par excellence, promising the meal of a lifetime for the most discerning of palates. However, tonight’s meal is unique, serving up curated courses for a handpicked cross-section of the elite; and when one patron finds herself an unwelcome guest, it’s clear that there’s more to the menu than meets the eye. Combining the scathing satire of American Psycho with the back-of-house drama of The Bear, The Menu skewers the world of fine dining with an insider’s knowing eye. Presenting the 1% from the perspective of the staff that serves them, it’s a slow build that takes its time to show its hand, setting all the pieces in place before yanking the tablecloth away. Get a head start on the holidays with this delicious morsel of fun.
NOTE: On Rotten Tomatoes, this movie has an 88% on the Tomatometer and a 76% on the Popcornmeter.
