Description

The Menu is a 2022 dark comedy thriller film directed by Mark Mylod and written by Will Tracy and Seth Reiss. The film stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Fiennes, Nicholas Hoult, and John Leguizamo, with supporting roles from Jessica Henwick and Zawe Ashton. It follows a young couple who visit a remote island off the coast of Italy to attend an exclusive, high-end restaurant where the chef has prepared a menu full of surprises.

The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10, 2022, and was released in the United States on November 18, 2022, by Searchlight Pictures. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the performances of the cast and the film's dark humor but criticized its pacing and lack of substance. The film has grossed over $15 million worldwide against a $10 million budget.

The Menu has been compared to the 2019 South Korean film Parasite due to its themes of class warfare and the stark contrast between the wealthy restaurant guests and the working-class staff. The film also explores the lengths people will go to achieve their dreams and the consequences that come with that pursuit. Anya Taylor-Joy's performance as the ambitious sous-chef has received particular praise from critics, with some calling it a standout role in her already impressive career.

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

Think of Prom as High School Musical with heavy doses of teen-aged angst. Summarizing Prom in frighteningly reductive terms, Disney says, "A group of teenagers get ready for their high school prom," and the producers list it simultaneously as "comedy" and "drama." If you read only that description, you easily could conclude Prom dramatizes debutantes' struggles with mascara and up-dos. To her everlasting credit, Aimee Teegarden, veteran of heavy high school drama in "Friday Night Lights," goes a long way toward redeeming Prom from its awkward identity crisis. With a properly delicate and ironic touch, Ms. Teegarden effectively captures every sophisticated senior's inchoate recognition that "valedictory" means farewell and "commencement" is a synonym for "see ya." "Nova, Ms. Teegarden's allegorically named character, recognizes her pet antagonist probably is the ideal prom date, heavy on the fun factor and devoted to keeping rented tuxedos and poofy dresses in perspective. The unlikely pair contrasts sharply with Mei and Tyler, swept-away sweethearts, who wrestle with conscience and logistics as they work to wring every last micro-gram of meaning and romance from "the biggest night of their lives.""Set for release the last weekend of April, 2011, Prom may or may not set the tone for the Class of 2011's dining and dancing extravaganzas, but it surely will provide invaluable fashion and etiquette tips.
