The Menu's reviews
Media reviews
Screen Daily
The rarefied world of haute cuisine is not exactly a hard target to satirise, but this deliciously savage comedy from director Mark Mylod makes every bitter mouthful count.
Vanity Fair
The Menu lands its joke about the Chef Table-ification of cuisine while also finding nuance in its ?capitalism is a plague? messaging.
The Hollywood Reporter
This is a vengeful dark comedy that probes percolating class anxieties (a popular theme in cinema lately). It indulges in opportunities to strip the emperor of his clothes, and while that doesn?t necessarily translate to the most revelatory social commentary, it does make for an amusing ride.
Indiewire
The Menu does do one thing exceptionally well: it holds your attention and makes you think for a time that any outcome is possible. That alone is something to salivate over.
Slashfilm
The set-up is sound, and the film is gloriously twisted. But The Menu also lags ? once we're clued into what's happening, some of the fun is gone.
