Now that The Menu is streaming, you can see how its story unfolds. Margot (Anya Taylor-Joy) accompanies her snobby date, Tyler (Nicholas Hoult), to a remote island with other rich customers for a fine dining experience run by the auteur chef, Chef Slowik (Ralph Fiennes). Things start to take a dark turn as the chef, and his kitchen of cooks have a grim plan for their wealthy customers. It also starred Hong Chau (Watchmen), Janet McTeer (Ozark), John Leguizamo, Paul Adelstein (Prison Break), Aimee Carrero (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power), Reed Birney (House of Cards), Judith Light (Tick, Tick… BOOM!), Rob Yang (Severance), Mark St. Cyr (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series), and Arturo Castro (Narcos).
The Menu served up on a streaming platter with a side of HBO Max
The Menu coming to streaming means it is coming off a theatrical run, which found a solid success. It grossed $71 million and received positive reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, the critic score was 89%, which saw critics rave about the film’s satire and flavor of black comedy. The audience score was a respectable 76%, which saw people applaud the cast and comedy, but some were mixed on the ending.
The Menu is now streaming on HBO Max if you are not up for going to the theater or don’t have a showing near you.
