re: Thoughts on Saltburn (spoilers in comments)

Yeah, that’s why I said I thought the trailer was a red herring. The trailer gives off the vibes of a sexy stylish thriller.

And it is kinda thriller. Kinda a comedy. Kinda a character study. But a much more malicious and mean spirited probe into the life of a loser who ends up in a situation he should never have been in.

I think I agree the ending is not great but spoilers:

This is basically a Talented Mr Ripley type of movie with a bit more of an outlandish lead.

I do though think what happens in the movie wasn’t a foregone conclusion despite what’s revealed.

Total spoilers:
He ends up killing most of the rich family to get all their stuff
