Part scalpel-sharp satire and part eat-the-rich horror flick, 'The Menu' relies on a hot ensemble cast and a dish that's best served cold. Our review.
Then, courtesy of two courses titled “Memory” and “The Mess,” the evening’s platings begin to drift into the realm of performance art, andunsheathes both its figurative and literal knives. This is where the horror film aspects begin to take over, and it becomes apparent that the main dish of the night is the one best served cold.
‘s concluding course — less a third act and more of an extended climax — is a worthy way of tying things up or not is a matter of taste. We’re of the mindset that it’s too clever by half, and that the way it sets up its version of a final-girl stand-off leaves you with a slight case of narrative acid reflux. Some of the clunkier aspects of this ambitious film’s gambit were already glaring before it drops the check at the table, and its ending only makes those elements stand out that much more.
