Movie Review 'The Menu', A Terrible Exclusive Dinner Experience

The Menu movie will soon be showing on Friday (18/11) in theaters. Featuring Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Fiennes, to Nicholas Hoult, The Menu is a film with a thriller genre that is worth waiting for.

This film tells the story of a luxurious dinner experience at an exclusive restaurant called Hawthorne which is managed by a professional chef, Julian Slowik (Ralph Fiennes).

A group of people from various professional backgrounds will be guests who will experience menus full of surprises from Slowik.

However, who would have thought that the sumptuous dinner they had been waiting for would be filled with terrible surprises.


Presenting Intense Tension

Since the guests' departure for Hawthorne, this film has left a number of question marks in the minds of the audience. Starting from the location of a restaurant on a remote island to a mysterious receptionist.

Chef Julian Slowik's character also emits a chilling and chilling aura. The chef's voice and expression made the atmosphere in the restaurant even more ominous.

Various suspicious things related to the restaurant then made the atmosphere even more tense, including the menus served containing implicit messages directed at each guest. The tension is intense until the film ends.


Mysterious Character Depiction

Each character is not explained clearly about their figure or background, both main and supporting characters in dailyrelaxshows.

The audience can find out about the profession and the relationship between each guest and Slowik only through dialogue between players.

In fact, the chef's motives for inviting the guests to his restaurant are not explained, so the audience can only speculate.


The Acting Quality of the Players is Slick

Focusing on the three main characters, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Fiennes, and Nicholas Hoult have shown acting skills that don't disappoint.

Anya Taylor-Joy as the 'uninvited' guest is able to show various emotions naturally. She manages to be a brave and intelligent young woman, but is also able to portray the frustration that rubs off on the audience.

Nicholas Hoult as Tyler manages to incarnate as an innocent man who knows a lot about culinary. He also seemed to really admire the figure of Julian Slowik. However, behind his naivety, he keeps something unexpected.

Then, Ralph Fiennes, who is no stranger to playing antagonists, was able to create a sense of horror through his role as Chef Julian Slowik.

Even though he didn't emit much emotion, Ralph Fiennes actually succeeded in making this film scary with his cold figure.
