Between this and 'The Bear' I honestly wonder if the majority of LA writers just frequent the same luxury restaurants and try to draw inspiration from their uninspired unrelatable lives.

It's like someone got high and watched the Food Network and tried to ascribe meaning to it. But came up empty.

Anyone who likes this movie must live in a bubble of pretentiousness, because this film does not work as an allegory or even a black comedy.

And I bet fans of this type of thing are exactly like the character that says 'You just don't get it.' I get it...and its BS.

The actors, set-dresser, ect. Did a fine job with the material given...but honestly why was this movie green-lit?

If they wanted a message to resonate as a mirror of society's over-consumption and rich a-holes; they could've spent the time and budget on something more focused, meaningful, and artistically more poignant.

I guess I don't understand audiences today- as I see in film, music, and TV things that have a high production value and yet are completely shallow beyond that initial surface facade.

It's BS dressed up as art while having the audacity to act morally superior.

There is nothing in this movie beyond the thriller mystery vibe at the very beginning that quickly unravels with every scene and unrealistic reaction.

I'm not a person who needs explosions every 5 minutes, and I appreciate artistic movies with a real message....but this has none.

Has similarities to The Bear (why are we praising this type of self-indulgent writing?!) Random ramblings devoid of a cohesive theme, interspersed with shots of food prep, sandwiched between knowing glances between characters. That's not profound.
