Saltburn (2023, UK) R18

Troubled by his classmate's unfortunate living situation, wealthy Oxford student Felix invites Oliver to stay at his estate, but a series of horrifying events soon engulf his eccentric family.

It depicts the often discussed questions about trying to fit into the English upper-class and failing.

You will probably love or hate this film, which is great reason to show it. I am rather expecting ratings from 1 to 9 in our post film discussion. We have had films lately that have been universally praised, It is time for one that caused a lot of different reactions! Come expecting that.

It is funny and witty, although extremely dark. You laugh at things you feel you shouldn't. It has for very good reason been called "a devilishly delightful film".

The RNZ reviewer wrote:
"Overall, I loved Saltburn and cannot wait to see it again. It’s not a feel-good film in the slightest, but it is one that leaves you thinking long after the credits roll. A few days after my screening I am still thinking about it and the longer away from it, the more I like it. It’s provocative and thought-provoking, with a fantastic performance from Barry Keoghan. So if you’re looking for a film that has more twists and turns than a roller coaster, Saltburn should be at the top of your list."
