Saw this movie and I felt it was predictably unpredictable. Was trying so hard to be weird that it became obvious. When the “grave shot” came up I knew what was gonna happen because it had set such a pattern of trying to be weird. Felt like somebody said “I could write an A24 film”
This time Barry Keoghan plays a weird little guy WITH glasses. He's broadening his range.
@neonthunderbirdhe's good at playing pitiable sorry SOB characters but that's it.
I can't stand weird for weird's sake in movies. Whoever cut the trailer made it look intriguing, though.
Talented Mr Ripley remake essentially
I actually went to Uni with these people, they toned some bits down and they went over the top with the gross out stuff.
Films fine - it’s not a marmite film - it’s a Horror Film for the upper classes
This is a problem that is endemic with a lot of "artsy" movies. They hide behind this veneer of obscurantism, masquerading as sophistication, and if you don't fully appreciate the film you are labeled as not being sophisticated enough to understand it. The end result of this behavior in the film critic community is that many go along with feigning admiration for such films for fear of being labeled obtuse. It reminds me of when I exclaimed that Jackson Pollock paintings look like someone vomited random colors onto a canvas, and some pretentious abstract art lover retorts that I am a troglodyte, who doesn't have the advanced understanding that he and his rarified ilk of douche friends have to appreciate such work.
The reality is there is a large portion of the artistic community - whether it is in film or in other media - that have duped the public into thinking their trash is the highest form of artistic expression, and that it just too complex for uninitiated minds to understand. Terrence Malik is a great exemplar of this. His films are visually stunning, but are ultimately pointless, but the arthouse film critic community raves over his films. An honest appraisal would identify a lot of his work as just lengthy high production cologne commercials, where actors whisper vagaries to each other against the backdrop of gorgeous imagery.
See i would make this argument over Paul Thomas Anderson. Objectively speaking magnolia, punch frunk love, licorice pizza are not good movies. The pacing, acting, chemistry between characters, there is so many obvious flaws to his films and yet critics will not stop raving about them. And i think all critics goes along with it cause if they don't other critics won't respect them anymore. You're suppose to like them.
The trailer told me everything I needed to know to know. 😂
Same. Everything they described about the movie, is exactly what it felt like watching the trailer.
For me, this movie is the talented Mr. Ripley meets a clockwork orange.
I think the movie is summed up by the line that Oliver says "Spoiled dogs sleeping belly up.."
In America, we strive to have a classless society. We got rid of patents of nobility when we gained our independence. And our rich (especially old money rich) tend to separate themselves in gated communities and not bring attention to themselves. In Britain, class is the end all and be all of their society, and determines economic outcomes a great deal more than with America. Jeeves and Wooster is a good indicator of what the effect of class is. Jeeves is a far more intelligent man that Bertie Wooster, a kind of man who, in America, might have run Microsoft. But what use is he put to by the British class system? He's the servant of a twit with inherited money who can't even fend for himself. Americans will never understand the white hot heat of hatred the working class in Britain has for "their betters." That's what this film is really about.
Jeeves has carved out an ultra-comfy niche for himself as a rich idiot's indispensible servant. Bertie is utterly helpless without him and they both know it, even Bertie's Aunt Agatha mentions it more than once. There's one story where Jeeves does little more than puts out Bertie's suit before indulging his own idle pastimes (which later prove to be plot-critical, because Jeeves was paying attention to Bertie's blithering about Gussie Fink-Nottle's love life).
No. We don’t drive to have a classless society in the U.S. that is the progressive a-holes still wearing masks.
In America, we CELEBRATE the rich because we can achieve it. And that is a statistical fact that a majority of the 1% in US were from a lower class.
In Britain, it is inherited by birth.
Alan's dog should be in the movie
So Godzilla Minus One has still not been supplanted. Yay!!!😂😂😂
You completely missed the whole film. It is meant to be absurd:
It opens with Handel’s ‘Zadok the Priest’ (used in Coronations) and the silly font for the title.
It is a completely funny black comedy, and meant to be seen as such.
.
The film is about desire, the lengths and depths desire will take us, and works on every level.
I don't know how you managed to completely miss the entirety of this film
Emerald Fennell spent a weekend watching Pasolini films while on her phone. This was horrid and far less intelligent than it thinks itself to be
If people consider this movie weird they have never seen a David lynch movie or just about any movie is less weird then this tbh
One of my favorite movie of the year, I guess I’ll leave this channel then…
People are saying it's some kind of black comedy, apparently I didn't get it. I cringed so much and I found it bad, I agree with you guys a lot.
It's not a "weird for weird sake" movie. Those scenes are meant to show how deranged of a person that character is, the degree to which isnt solidified until after they happen.
But if no ones watching and it's out of character, then he's doing it for the audience shock factor. Which breaks the 4th wall.
@@mephistro it seems out of character in the moment, that's why I reevaluated their place in the film after the reveal in the end.
@@llamasarus1 I disagree. The tub drain scene makes zero sense. Oliver even admits that he hates Felix. Therefore the only reason to do something like that is to shock the audience. Same goes for the menstrual blood scene. He could've made out with her and accomplished just as much as shoving her own blood in her mouth. Or how about Farleigh? The guy is the biggest threat to his whole plan so what does Oliver do? Jerks him off while telling him to stay out of his business. Ooookaaay...
Review ANIMAL released this week
Best R rated film this year
I'll see this......after I watch Godzilla at least one more time.
This to me is BRIDESHEAD REVISITED updated to a hate the rich horror story….it also has elements of PARASITE…its a class warfare story.
I do like the actors…Rosamund Pike is always great, big fan of Richard E. Grant, but I wanted to take a shower after this movie…I give it a D.
I wished i had seen this review before i saw the movie lol. I saw it free with amc subscription and i still feel ripped off
Sounds vaguely like Brideshead Revisited.
Brideshead Revisited meets Fall of the House of Usher by way of The Talented Mr. Ripley.
Too many “eat the rich” movies. When’re we getting the next “eat the poor”?
I didn't hate or dislike the movie, but it did feel like it was trying too hard to be an instant modern classic. It was trying to be obscure and weird, a la A Clockwork Orange... but to what end?
Not for American audiences.
Saltburn is just an overly lone Inside No.9 episode, which is a British anthology series that does everything far better than this film. Please, everyone, go watch Inside No.9 and spread the word.

its definitely a strange movie..
I thought the film was well made, the pacing was good, the cinematography, and performances were good. But the script failed me. I knew halfway in he was conning them all. But I didn't understand why they bought his bullshit. I just didn't buy how he was successful as a con man. The script didn't show me that. So when the "reveal" came at the end...I was like, if you say so. Ya know?
Save your time. Just read the Wikipedia page for the movie.
I don’t know why you need to root for someone in a movie? I loved it, but I love movies that are full of horrible people.
The effort at articulation tho. One would think Felix is the dean of the school or something since you call him ‘big man on campus’ and a ‘colleague’ to Oliver. Also, ‘statuesque’ is ideally used to refer to women, but in this age of confused genders i guess you do you.
Seems like a big gay allagory. Pass.
