Critics Consensus

While its social commentary relies on basic ingredients, The Menu serves up black comedy with plenty of flavor.

The Menu's got a great cast and plenty of fun moments, although the ending might strike some as a little tough to swallow.

Scott Tobias

The Reveal (Substack)

The film fares better as a tightly constructed exercise in horror, like a cross between the mechanized death of a Saw movie and the eat-the-rich grotesquerie of Peter Greenaway’s The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover.

Rated: 3.5/5

The Menu is an atmospheric, claustrophobic thriller with a killer ending, but manages to fall short in serving up a full-course of deranged delights.

Rated: 3/5

Anton Bitel

Sight & Sound

Slowik’s slow-cooked revenge against social inequality, bad taste, cruel critique, culinary pretension and even ‘fast food’ cinema is unsettling and accusatory.

Puesta en Escena (AR)

This gourmet show takes unforeseen directions when each step of the menu is transformed into a theatrical act, where the tension will go to a crescendo and the experience that chef Slowik and his team have prepared is not what the diners expected...

Rated: 8/10

Loud and Clear Reviews

The Menu is an entertaining horror satire with a marvelous ensemble cast but fails to deliver a slightly interesting punch line.

Rated: 3/5

In Their Own League

“The Menu” demonstrates how capitalism and its relationship to consumerism can actively suck the joy from creatives, particularly as they attempt to fulfil the needs of the most affluent and entitled consumers.

Rowell S Interesting twist, love Anya. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Ralph Fiennes is king Pacing of the movie is perfect until the climax when things start to get a bit wacky. A little too on the nose at times. They probably should’ve found someone other than Anya Taylor Joy as the protagonist who’s supposed to be from a blue collar middle American background. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review First name L Deliciously flinty humor about the conflict between art and consumerism. Each deftly cast persona contributes to the main course; stay for the just deserts. PSA: Eat a good burger right before or directly afterward. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/10/24 Full Review La'Justin Incredible film on so many levels. Also really made me want a cheeseburger. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/09/23 Full Review lester this is just a fantastic film thriller/ dark comedy at its best go watch it Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/25/23 Full Review Ruby B I've actually seen it 2-3 times. Worth the watch, good suspense and drama. Would have preferred a better ending (literally the last few minutes of the movie) but overall good original.
