My favorite part of The Menu was when Anya Taylor-Joy, after all the craziness that happened, demanded a cheeseburger, with American Cheese.

#TheMenu. A delectable watch about life, death, and mouthfeel. This is what you get when you let Voldemort take over the kitchen. This film is a fine dining experience like no other. Each course featured a key element of the plot and was presented in a ridiculous yet brilliant manner. The entire thing is a culinary performance poking fun at the rich, entitled and powerful. While Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy led the film, it's the storytelling and production that drove it home for me. The level of thought, intricate detail, basically how everything was designed and executed -- so visually stunning, and so mouth-watering. At the same time, it also gives you something to ponder on. Are you a giver or a taker? Which side are you on? And up to what extent will you take bull and pretend that everything's fine when, really, it's all burning down. That said, the film made me think. Is fine dining really my scene? When I dine, do I eat to enjoy, feed my ego, prove something, or make a statement? Am I really getting my money's worth from the experience alone? There's really no wrong answer since the context always varies. Going back, The Menu isn't a film you simply watch. Rather, it's something you experience as if you, too, were being served these conceptual courses. And so, when you do decide to this film, don't just watch it. Experience it and savor it. Though, I do wish I got to know more about the restaurant, even Elsa since she's such an interesting character. Anyway, go enjoy this one. 8/10 for me. https://www.instagram.com/p/CnGh1ZgowHd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ralph Fiennes cooks up a storm in 'The Menu'

In the satirical thriller "The Menu," which is set in the realm of gourmet dining, Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult are served a dinner to die for.

Margot and Tyler, a young couple who are whisked away to a remote private island where the upscale dining establishment "Hawthorne" is located, are portrayed by the "Queen's Gambit" and "X-Men" actors. The island is home to numerous vegetable patches, farm animals, beehives, and live-in staff dormitories.

The two are among a limited group of 12 people who spent a significant sum to dine at the establishment owned by renowned American chef Julian Slowik (Ralph Fiennes).

Slowik and his crew of robot-like pros have secretly created a special lunch with some surprise components just for his wealthy guests. However, Margot's appearance seems to ruin Slowik's creation.

The wealthy guests, their ostentatious fine dining experience, and the celebrity chef phenomena are all made fun of in the film, which is why Slowik has become hopeless and disheartened.

"This story for me is about privilege for privileges' sake or pretentiousness for pretentiousness' sake," Taylor-Joy told Reuters at the film's London premiere on Wednesday.

"If you're not enjoying yourself and if you're not enjoying life, then what are you really doing? I think a lot of these characters are insatiable and it's definitely a dark satire on that topic."

To assure realism, the movie's director, Mark Mylod, of "Succession" and "Game of Thrones" fame, hired top chefs.

"We worked with Dominique Crenn, she has three Michelin stars and is literally a world-class chef...we worked with David Gelp, who was the creator of 'Chef's Table' and came in to do some great food porn shots for us," he said.

Some of the cast members were motivated to start cooking by Crenn and Gelp.

"I wasn't really a foodie before this. I got more into it having watched those things and learnt more about it. And when I'm not shooting, I do like to cook and I've just recently got into baking a little bit," said Hoult.

The movie "The Menu," which also stars John Leguizamo as a former Hollywood celebrity, Janet McTeer as a pretentious food reviewer, and Hong Chau as the restaurant's steadfast maître d', will be out in theatres worldwide starting November 17.
