The Menu

I was hoping for so much more in this film. I guess my expectations were too high. The first half was okay, at least in terms of trying to build intrigue, but then it just falls flat. As another reviewer mentioned here: "Nice Try, But the Satire Doesn't Land." And that's exactly how I feel about it as well. I get it -- it's supposed to be a satire, but it doesn't do a good job of really getting the message across. There are so many things in the film that you think will come to have meaning at some point but just never do. And in the end, I felt like I was left with nothing more than trying to make sense of the ridiculous. If you watch this, you might enjoy it more if you don't make the mistake of having high expectations like I did.
