    Description

    A young couple travels to a remote island to eat at an exclusive restaurant where the chef has prepared a lavish menu, with some shocking surprises.

    Сast and Crew

    Production

    Will Tracy dined at Cornelius Sjømatrestaurant, an island restaurant outside Bergen, Norway, during a honeymoon and later suggested a story to Seth Reiss inspired by the experience. Several figures from the world of fine dining were brought on as consultants for the film, including food designer Dominique Crenn, who recreated several dishes from her San Francisco restaurant Atelier Crenn for the fictional restaurant Hawthorn, and second unit director David Gelb, who was brought on to recreate the filmmaking style from his Netflix docuseries Chef's Table.

    Watched

    All haute cuisine lately in cinema: with layers, narratives, satire…). The film is worthwhile, and Rafe is good – he’s already in tears all the time from his own greatness and righteousness, but I really wanted some kind of "cheeseburger" – for example, the life-affirming "Julie and Julia") Translated to English

    Watched

    Crushed by critics, ungrateful consumers and sponsors, a creative person loses his taste for his craft. What will this lead to? An absolutely unexpected satirical thriller for me, after which I want to have a bite to eat. Translated to English

    Watched

    The film absolutely repeats the concept of a dish "with bread", but without it: when we have great actors and the characters they play, there are a couple of funny moments. But they forgot to describe the motivation of the cooks and a clear ending. It is unclear why the film was made. Translated to English

    Watched

    I don’t seem to understand modern satire. There is intrigue, it looks beautiful, but the script is boring for all that. But you can see. Translated to English

    Watched

    Some are so ashamed of not seeing the meaning in something where, according to others, it "should be", that they distort their speech and actions with excessive sublimity, remaining all the same faceless consumers. And this is just one of the topics covered. Good black satire overall. Translated to English

    Watched

    Haute cuisine, an elite audience, a marvelous island shrouded in a sweet mist of mystery with hints of anxiety and anticipation of pleasure… By the fourth turn, everyone is waiting for a hot dish… Bang! and everything goes into the bin, scattering broken storylines and shards of common sense. Translated to English

    Watched

    Very mixed feelings after watching. I was counting on a cool horror and an amazing "Anya", but I saw only the second. It starts calmly, the plot unwinds by dish 4, but the finale and the whole story of the chef are not serious. As if there were holes in the script and they were plugged with what they could, an ordinary film. Translated to English

    Watched

    The chef invites us to dinner prepared with obsession. No love, just artsy avant-garde pieces, a one-of-a-kind masterpiece is planned. It doesn’t matter which side you are on, food consumers or taste makers. Enjoy! Translated to English

    Watched

    Very strange, but not useless movie. The movie makes sense. At some points, it ridicules both ordinary society and higher society, as well as people who consider themselves superior to others. Translated to English

    Watched

    Goes well after Triangle of Sorrow and Knives Out. A sort of island trilogy turned out. But a single "Menu" – neither the mind nor the heart. The intrigue is present, but behind it is empty. Translated to English

    Watched

    Theater of the Absurd with an overrated Anna in the title role. A film from the category of "find the deep meaning yourself or call it meaningless nonsense." There are several messages, but they lie on the surface, are banal and do not catch. I want this type of movie to make gray matter tense. Translated to English

    Won't Watch

    I have already heard that this is the solstice from the world of cooking. Thank you but no Translated to English

    Watched

    Poor, boring and not interesting! I’d like a cheeseburger please  I expected much more 🥲 Translated to English

    Watched

    It’s like Jigsaw meeting Master Chef. But! The film is unexpectedly good. Translated to English

    Watched

    The easiest way is to make a movie without meaning, and then come up with a meaning at the end. Cinema claims to be genius, but in fact it is something very simple. A lot of pathos, little interest for the viewer. Just weak Translated to English

    Watched

    At first I thought that there would be another crap about cannibalism, and then the film pleasantly surprises. Very similar in atmosphere to "Solstice" by Ari Astaire. Translated to English

    Watched

    The action is fascinating, although completely meaningless. Once you think about the motives of the characters, the whole film falls into pieces. On the other hand, now so many people around are going crazy without any motive that this absurdity is perhaps more realistic than psychological dramas. Translated to English

    Watched

    The film criticizes food culture, saying that there is nothing behind the pretentiousness other than obtaining physical pleasure and satisfying the need for food. But the film itself is just a good thriller in a pretentious package. And this, apparently, is the irony of the authors: happiness is in simplicity Translated to English

    Watched

    Not only is it implausible, it is also pathetic to the point of nausea. No logic in the behavior of the characters, no clearly built plot. After watching, there was a desire to wash with cold water and unsee this stuffy suicidal nonsense as soon as possible. Translated to English

    Watched

    The film matches the food served. An empty plate with a single dab of unicorn nostril sauce. Conceptual conception of course, but the film explains everything before it ends and then just continues without giving anything. Translated to English

    Watched

    Complete crap. The picture is good, you wait the whole film for the denouement. In the end, it’s not a film, but a dud. It’s not clear where this film got such a positive rating. I don’t recommend it. Translated to English

    Watched

    It would have been better if they had made a cheeseburger in the first place. I’m not a fan of such haute cuisine when they feed highly artistic crap. For the constellation of actors, I overestimate the rating. Translated to English

    Watched

    The declared performance turned out to be quite good, but it was as if the potential of what was happening was much stronger than it turned out in the end. Fiennes, Anya and Holt make up for any shortcomings anyway. 8 cheeseburgers with fries out of 10. Translated to English

    Watched

    Art is in everything: we eat it, we breathe it, we listen to it, we create it. Intriguing is the main highlight of this menu. Translated to English

    Watched

    Wow, what a fierce experience – everything is so balanced here, starting with the mise-en-scenes and ending with the facial expressions of the actors. Rare in our time, a movie that can surprise and delight Translated to English
