The Menu (2022) Film Review
I did not expect to love The Menu as much as I did. It is so unhinged, hilarious and honestly kind of cathartic. This is not a food movie. It’s a movie about power, entitlement, and the absurdity of people who confuse taste with worth. I thought it was so clever and dark. At the…
