Horror/suspense movie on HBO. Unique premise starring Ralph Fiennes as a chef and co-starring a whole bunch of people as pretentious foodie assholes.

Worth a watch.

Can't abide by him pronouncing his name "Raif". You share your name with a union plumber from Stickney. Get over yourself!

I liked it. Unique concept and nice mix of suspense & humor. It’s not quite a horror movie but some good scare scenes once the story picks up. Mocks the type of people who ought to be mocked.

It's hilarious. And if you've ever eaten a multicourse tasting menu, it's really hilarious.

That cheeseburger looked good too!

Didn't know that. Shout out to those on the street who call out "Hey Ralph, how do you pronounce your last name".

When I saw the trailer I thought the plot was too close to “Spin Me Round” which had come out the same year I think.

It's message is not really coherent, unless you just accept it as a damaged genius having a breakdown.

Death to the eaters! Ok, this is an allegory on economic class. Let's see where this goes.

But the workers are going to die as well. Wait, what? Well, maybe its a statement that the "art" of this kind of cooking/consumption is a sick corruption of the original purpose of eating, which is to survive another day.

Great acting by all. Each person plays his role perfectly, without a weak performance. Beautifully shot. The story itself requires too much of a suspension of disbelief for this kind of movie and as said before, its messaging was incoherent.

but I enjoyed it and would recommend a watch

I thought they were going to hunt & eat the guests based off the trailers.

This was a really fun movie to watch. Enjoyed every minute of it. Glad I did not know what to expect.

Is that glass onion movie similar to this?
