This movie is about a snobbish, narcissistic, self-indulgent, moralizing, pretentious and boring chef.

This movie is equally snobbish, narcissistic, self-indulgent, moralizing, pretentious and boring.

If this was meant to be a satire, then the writers, cast and crew, need to read-up on the definition. It is a great premise, cast and location but when you finally get a sense of the movie (half-way through), you realize they have completely squandered a great opportunity. The supposed message of the movie is smooshed in your face. You get a real sense that everyone in this production, bought into the "artistic vision" and the movie feels like a self congratulatory mess. It is as shallow, hollow and completely lacking in subtlety as a movie could be.

"The Triangle of Sadness" did everything this movie could not and so much more, and I truly believe it will stand the test of time. "The Menu" will be remembered by people who wants to somehow prove their intellectual and cultured prowess, and soon forgotten by everyone else.

I am all for movies provoking you to feel anger, frustration despair, sadness, etc. "The Menu" is just provokingly bad.
