Description

The Menu is a 2022 dark comedy thriller film directed by Mark Mylod and written by Will Tracy and Seth Reiss. The film stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Fiennes, Nicholas Hoult, and John Leguizamo, with supporting roles from Jessica Henwick and Zawe Ashton. It follows a young couple who visit a remote island off the coast of Italy to attend an exclusive, high-end restaurant where the chef has prepared a menu full of surprises.

The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10, 2022, and was released in the United States on November 18, 2022, by Searchlight Pictures. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the performances of the cast and the film's dark humor but criticized its pacing and lack of substance. The film has grossed over $15 million worldwide against a $10 million budget.

The Menu has been compared to the 2019 South Korean film Parasite due to its themes of class warfare and the stark contrast between the wealthy restaurant guests and the working-class staff. The film also explores the lengths people will go to achieve their dreams and the consequences that come with that pursuit. Anya Taylor-Joy's performance as the ambitious sous-chef has received particular praise from critics, with some calling it a standout role in her already impressive career.

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

Zookeeper immediately deserves nomination for the "Cute" Hall of Fame. Or "precious" or "adorable" or one of those ever so warm and friendly adjectives that describe both people and animals you just want to hug with all your might. You must understand that the animals star in Zookeeper, and the people are the supporting cast. Naturally teddy-bearish Kevin James stars as Griffin Keyes, long-time zookeeper who doesn't get out much. More at home with his critters than members of his own species, the zookeeper bravely resolves to leave the zoo and venture out into the bigger world, where he hopes, naturally enough, he can get a life and get a girl. When the animals ferret-out Griffin's plan, they feel so desperately heart-broken they elect to break their "code of silence," revealing not only that they can talk but also that they have quite a bit to say on questions of love, romance, and mating. Rosario Dawson plays Kate, "the girl." The animals, of course, conspire to help their boy win the girl and to keep their happy family together. Seriously, how cute is that!"Zookeeper features an exceptionally high-powered collection of voice talents: Adam Sandler plays a Capuchin monkey, Cher appropriately plays a lioness opposite Sylvester Stallone's lion, Billy Crystal plays a llama, and the venerable Don Rickles gives us his very best frog. And that's just the headliners. Zookeeper also has the strange distinction of going into the film history books as the last movie MGM studios wrapped before it went into bankruptcy. That part isn't cute—just quirky.
