Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Fiennes, and Nicholas Hoult star in this entertaining new movie from Game of Thrones and Succession director Mark Mylod.
and follows the story of a group of people who attend a tasting at an exclusive restaurant called Hawthorn.BTW, before we get going here, if you want to know absolutely nothing about the film going into it, be sure to bookmark this for later. I won't reveal any major spoilers, but obviously, I gotta talk about the film somehow!
Now, while this might sound kind of frou-frou, what actually plays out is a comedically dark, surprisingly violent, and refreshingly original tale that'll probably have you screaming,"OMG what?!" several times throughout the movie.A couple, Margot and Tyler , travel to a small coastal island to eat at the ultra-exclusive restaurant Hawthorn — run by the recluse, but celebrated, head chef Julian Slowik .
Meanwhile, the cult-like restaurant staff is led by Elsa , an intimidating figure who's willing to serve the guests...but only so far as Chef Slowik allows.Now, because this is a ~foodie~ movie, you'd probably walk into this expecting a lot of food porn. And, well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but much like its guests, the food Chef Slowik presents is pretentious, unappetizing, and frankly, unlovable. I mean...
Anyhoo...the story quickly escalates through all these bougie courses. From location-inspired amuse-bouche to a very metaphoric"taco night" , the menu begins to get so out there that guests ask,"WTF is going on here?!"And we start to learn a lot more about each of the guests' dark pasts and why they were specifically chosen for this experience......except for Margot.
