The Menu (2022 film)/YMMV

These things about  are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.


 * Alternate Character Interpretation: In general, the movie wants to take a look at who would be considered an Acceptable Target in a film that criticizes the rich.
 * Is Tyler possibly Chef Julian reveals that
 * For that matter, why did Chef Julian Was it a Secret Test of Character to find out if Tyler was a person who deserved to die, or  It's also hinted that while Tyler is rich given that he's able to pay the restaurant fee without blinking,.
 * Why did Ms. Westervelt break up with Tyler? Was she sick of him the way that Margot eventually becomes over the course of the evening, considering that Tyler is a Man-Child demonstrating a Lack of Empathy? For that matter, considering that Julian tailored the menu specifically for the guests and their sins, could she have been no better than the uber-rich and wealthy?
 * Crosses The Line Twice: The movie runs on this humor in certain bits:
 * The men have to run around the island in a bid for escape. Meanwhile, the women get to sit inside and enjoy an umeboshi infusion broth. Lillian tries to bribe Katherine, who made the dish and revealed that Julian harassed her, into sparing them in exchange for her own restaurant. Katherine giggles and reveals that "Everyone dying was my pitch. I'm so proud it was accepted." Lillian with a done expression offers wine to the ladies and says "Fuck it" tiredly.
 * In an otherwise heartwarming scene, George demands to know why Felicity was chosen to die. He can accept the Insane Troll Logic that Julian wants to punish him for starring in a bad movie for a paycheck, but Felicity is not wealthy or corrupt the way the other guests are, and she never crossed Julian personally. Julian then asks Felicity, who is crying Tears of Fear, what college she went to. She answers Brown, and not on student loans. He says, in a genuinely apologetic tone, "I"m sorry you're dying" and she nods as if to acknowledge fair enough.
 * Idiot Plot: The only way the plot can even work is by every client standing still and not rioting against their imminent killing. Some of the group of people which finds this movie good finds it a part of the "social satire" about how everybody rich is apparently stupid. Others just find a lazy way of making an allegoric plot. There is s third party which finds realistic and thinks that is how rich people would actually act in real life because apparently having a large bank account leads to reduction of IQ(You are free to think it says something about them instead).
 * Narm:.
 * Signature Scene: Everyone talks about
