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.

Released in 2012, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days covers the events depicted in third and fourth books of Jeff Kinney: The Last Straw and Dog Days. The last one "realistic fiction" novel got more attention from Wallace Wolodarsky who wrote a screenplay for the movie, and this fact is noticeably reflected in the film's plot. The storyline begins with Greg Heffley and Rowley Jefferson are going to the country club for their summer vacations where due to the unfortunate sequence of developments both of them got into the troubles. Bleak outlook of spending the summer in vain efforts to make some money is rising at the horizon with more and more of clarity. That makes the movie very similar to previous two: Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010) and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2011) – the hopeless children are showcased as losers trying to do their best. Nevertheless, the play of the cast is outstanding as usual and while watching this sequel you distinctively understand why these seven actor and actress (Zachary Gordon, Karan Brar, Robert Capron, Laine MacNeil, Connor & Owen Fielding and Dalila Bela were nominated the Young Artist Award and some of them ( we mean Laine MacNeil) even won it. By the way, Zachary Gordon's career is moving quite fast, which is led him to the lead role in the 2012 movie Norm of the North, where he plays main protagonist, Norm.
