The movie is good, well acted by both lead actors. The story flows well, and the setting is great.

The problem is that the story never delivers on it's actual message.

The chef said there will be a difference between the staff and guests, and in the end there was none. The dialogue all builds up to this great collapse of the devide, which is The Menu's great outcome, yet it did not deliver any difference between working class and the rich. Both groups died seemingly willingly and in the exact same way.

The story just fizzled in the end with no lesson or feeling of guilt or vindication.

The back story of the chef is so shallow, and the reveal behind the silver door is a let down.

The more I write and think about it the less I like the movie actually.

The mix between horror and satire seems undecided or bland, the backstory was lacking and the plot presents itself as something grander than it really is. The same hollowness of the dishes carries onto the essence of the movie. Satirizing something that is hollow and giving the final product value is a difficult task, this movie really tries to do that, but given its nature, it didn't quite stick the landing with me.

The cast is simply great, full of recognizable faces and good acting. The cinematography was good, nothing out of this world but enjoyable.

Overall its entertaining, but the delivery of its message is not strong. Even if this flavor of satire wasn't the best suited for me, it kept me intrigued and while not fully satisfied, I enjoyed it.

And that's all Folks, that's all you need to Know. The Premise was Better Than the Actual Execution of the Movie.

Things I Did Like -

1. The First Half Was Really Good, Nice Chilled out Mellow Mood with a Hint of Something Sinister Going on was Weaved Within the First Half.

2. The Description and Pictures of the Different Dishes on screen was Great to See.

3. The Anya Taylor Joy Character Reveal whilst talking to the Chef was Ok I guess.

4. The Cop or Security Guy that Shows Up to Help was a Good Scene.

5. I liked the Fact that the Chef Knew Exactly who everyone was and their History. Also, in the first half, he had this Charming yet Mysterious Malicious Vibe about him. That was Excellent.

Problems I Have with the Movie -

1. I get the Motivation for why the Chef is Doing what he is Doing to these People but it wasn't Executed with any Interest in these Characters.

2. After the First Half, the Mood changed because the Characters Sort of Knew where this was heading and I didn't like that tone whatsoever, it was kind of like seriousness with a joky overtone and it didn't work for me.

3. Two People do Something to themselves because of the there own Self-Disappointment and Supposed Admiration for the Chef and I thought to myself "Really?"

4. There is a pointless albeit a sort of funny to watch "Activity" that happens in the Movie. But it was Pointless.

5. At the End, When Anya Taylor Joy gives the Chef a "Change of Heart", I thought it was a great idea however once again, it wasn't Executed profoundly, it was Dull.

6. The Final, Final end Bit, some of the Characters actually start Believing what this Chef is saying and agreeing with him, "Like Really?"

Overall, The Premise was Far Better than the Execution.
