Toronto Review: Mark Maylod’s Psychological Thriller ‘The Menu’
A group of wealthy people arrive on a mysterious island and receive the meal of a lifetime in Mark Mylod’s psychological thrillerA five-star restaurant called Hawthorne is creating a special menu for some high-profile guests. A famed food critic, a “movie” star, some sports stars, affluent couples, and Chef Slowik fans. They received invitations to eat at the five-star eatery and showed up with their egos, arrogance, and money. The outlier, Margo Mills, is Tyler’s date.
Hawthorne’s kitchen is run like the military. They march food to their guest seats, respond to commands in unison, and only speak when spoken to. No one thinks this is weird except for Margo. The chef regards his guest with disdain. Maybe a hint of things to come? He crafts his dishes based on his life and the lives of his guests. He seems to know secret information about them all and reveals these learned facts through various meals.
The sound design and Collin Stetson’s score are bombastic in a good way. The film wouldn’t be as enjoyable without it. The sound cuts right through your body like a knife. Every shriek, clap, and clank of the glass is clean and precise. Maloyd weaves these elements into his purposefully awkward shooting style with glimpses of Ari Aster’s aesthetic. The director guides the audience down a winding path that will throw them off, so they’ll never see what’s coming.
