The Menu at Glasgow Film Festival
18 November – 1 December, 2022
Glasgow Film Theatre, 12 Rose Street, Glasgow G3 6RB
The culture of haute cuisine gets thoroughly roasted in this sharp satire from director Mark Mylod (Succession), starring Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit) and Ralph Fiennes.
Tyler (Nicholas Hoult), a devout foodie, and his date, Margot (Taylor-Joy), travel to Hawthorne Island, a 12-acre self-contained farm-to-table paradise, serving celebrities and billionaires, run by an enigmatic chef (Fiennes). Among the guests are a washed-up movie star (John Leguizamo), a tastemaking restaurant critic (Janet McTeer), and a trio of tech bros. What they all have in common are meaty secrets that each new dish hints at exposing. Only Margot seems immune to Hawthorne’s menu of manipulation — and only she seems able to spot the vulnerability concealed beneath Chef’s cultivated air of superiority.
GFT – Why We Love It:
‘Mark Mylod’s (Succession) feature debut is a jet black comedy with a side order of fabulous food concoctions. I loved every twist and turn and his attention to the details of how the rich live is laser focused. He really, really doesn’t like rich folks…’
