The Menu

The film was chilling and made me feel uneasy right when they got on the boat to the island but I did not expect how dark of a turn it would take. I liked the mystery of the chef throughout the movie and how his backstory was never fully explained. What made him this way? What was his childhood like? What made him want to become a chef in the first place? How did he garner so much fear and respect from his workers to the point where they were willing to kill and die for him? So many questions. I think the island blowing up at the movie's end foreshadowed by the first shot of Margot's silhouette lighting a cigarette was brilliant. Overall the movie subverted my expectations and it felt very refreshing to cleanse my film palette with a movie of this quality.
