Menu, The

[Opens Nov. 18 in theaters.] Mark Mylod's gripping, disturbing, dark, multifaceted, original, intense, well-acted, twist-filled, 106-minute satire with minimal, much-needed back story in which a stern restaurant manager (Hong Chau) escorts an eclectic group of affluent guests (Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult, Judith Light, Janet McTeer, John Leguizamo, Reed Birney, Paul Adelstein, Aimee Carrero, Rob Yang, Arturo Castro, and Mark St. Cyr) to their tables at an exclusive island restaurant in the Pacific Northwest where the pretentious, egotistical, sociopathic chef (Ralph Fiennes) prepares epicurean delights and surprises in his tasting menu where each course becomes even more unsettling and tasteless and shocking.
