Movies like The Menu

“The Menu (2022) is a 2020s American dark-comedy/psychological-horror hybrid that stages a secluded, ritualized dinner as its central situation. It frames a contest between privileged guests and an exacting host, using high-contrast chiaroscuro, meticulous framing, and a measured tempo to translate culinary spectacle into moral critique. It forces viewers to reckon with class entitlement and performative authenticity.”
