The Adults (2023)
Loved it
Really interesting to see the mixed opinions on this. I really enjoyed it. It's a beautiful portrayal of sibling relationships, and so much in the movie is in what's unsaid. This can sometimes be frustrating in movies like this but there's so much depth in the characters and performances from the three leads that you can feel their complexities and pain, but also the unique connection they have. Reminiscent of the also great Skeleton Twins. I think it's currently really underrated on here and I'm glad I decided to watch it, based purely on a clip of Michael Cera's (excellent) Tony Soprano impression.
The Menu (2022)
Terrible movie
So disappointed with this movie. What a complete waste of time. Some great actors and a set up that makes you think it's going to be worth it but just descends into boring, pointless rubbish.
This is neither a horror or a comedy. To be honest, I don't know what it's trying to be. If you want a good horror from this year, look no further than Smile. Even Barbarian is more worth the watch and more fitting of the horror/comedy genre, though still a bit predictable and unoriginal.
I'm really struggling for anything else to say about this movie. It was obviously well researched on the food side of things, and that was almost interesting if not for it being completely irrelevant with how the rest of the movie played out.
