One of the better and more enjoyable films I have seen in the past couple of months has been ‘The Menu’, starring Ralph Fiennes and Anna Taylor-Joy in the main roles of Julian Slowik, the mysterious chef, and Margot Mills, who just happens to be an afterthought guest at the special dinner prepared by Slowik.
I think that what really appeals to me about this film is that the storyline is unique and different from the standard action and rom-coms that dominate the late summer/fall season. It definitely has some scares that produce jumps and makes one feel uncomfortable. Watching the reactions of the guests as they realize what's happening over the course of the evening with each meal adds to the appeal of the film. Fiennes and Taylor-Joy definitely play off each other very well and give great performances!
