re: The Menu has been added to HBO.

Reminded me of my mom….

Kudos to the writers who created a sick, twisted, and original story by using foodie culture and the 5 star chefs behind the dishes as the theme.

It wasn’t groundbreaking in any sense but just original enough to think back to a time when it was popular for Moms to declare that movies and music were being created by these “Hollywood sickos who worship the Devil” oblivious to the social commentary that went deeper than just the shocking deaths on screen.

I did appreciate that they didn’t look to turn Anya Taylor Joy into superheroine by keeping her role more practical than if she took out the entire restaurant by herself.

I probably won’t remember this film in a year. As someone else said, it’s not really worth a second watch. But at least I didn’t feel like it was a movie I force-fed myself to watch because there was nothing from the unwatchable “Jeremy’s Mess” on the tv menu that we’re used to.
