Popcorn for One: The Menu (2022) a movie review

 I did go to see The Menu (2022) earlier and absolutely loved it. The trailer makes it appear to be a thriller, and while there are elements of that, it's more of a very, dark comedy. I was laughing out loud at some moments and so were other audience members. I've been to "comedies" that didn't get that reaction.

A group of about a dozen people is invited to have dinner at a very, exclusive restaurant on a small island. Chef Slowik (Ralph Fiennes) will only allow a limited number of patrons for each dinner. This evening all have been personally invited. No spoilers, but things slowly become apparent that each of the guests has done something to bring them to the Chef's attention.

Anya Taylor-Joy is wonderful as Margo, the last-minute guest of one of those invited. She does a wonderful job as the lead and primary focus of the film.

I really enjoyed this film, but think you might have to have a slightly bent sense of humor. Also, there are some brutal moments in the movie that were a bit shocking.
