Featured review
Lots of good fun and WTF moments
It's clear this film isn't for everyone. Sometimes when a plot isn't spoon fed to the audience you lose that audience but it's ok, not everything is for everyone.
Personally I thought it was very well done.
Perhaps it is being British myself that I can see this is clearly a riotous comedy in the vein of poking fun not just at the upper crust but also those who aspire to it.
People seem to think this is a thriller but it seems to me more like a set them up then watch the dominos fall film.
Rosamund Pike has so many witty one liners and Richard grant is just perfect along with Carey mulligan as Poor Dear Pamela. I could delve into what does it say about class, privilege, social mobility etc but none of that matters. I think Emerald Fennell captured a cartoonish yet almost believable representation of the out of touch old money families of the UK and what it may be like not to have a financial care in the world.
Barry Keoghan is equal parts charismatic and revolting as evidenced by his actions but we are never given more that the briefest sense of why, which doesn't matter because this is an absurd bit of fun that stays with you for days after.
And about that last scene, I recently discovered it's a redux of the original video for murder on the dance floor. So there you go.
I found this film, funny, gross and very memorable. Emerald Fennell did a great job.
