Alright, so The Menu is now on HBO Max, serving us up one heck of delicable dark comedy course. But uhhh… Can I substitute the salad for some fries? Anyway in this video we’re going to talk about the ending of this movie, our reaction and review, along with what it’s saying about those snooty foodies out there.

So with that out of the way, thank you for clicking this video. Also hit that like button and subscribe as it helps us out. I’m your host Jared. Now let's get into The Menu.

So essentially The Menu features this lavish, one of a kind restaurant, The Hawthorne located on a remote island, owned by celebrity chef Julian Slowik. Multiple courses, only the most elite can dine here, with it being $1,250 a head… But don’t worry, the tip is included in that price. We’re slowly introduced to the type of people that dine at such a high class establishment as one by one they arrive at the ferry and make their way to the island. A handful of tech bros, a washed up actor and his assistant, an older couple, food critic and the magazine editor who is working with her, and finally Tyler, basically a big Instagram foodie, you know the people constantly taking snapshots of their food, and Margot, his girlfriend.

On the island, they are guided about the grounds by Hong Chau’s Elsa, showing the guests that everything is grown, raised, specifically cultured, and handpicked from the island’s resources everyday, meaning the freshest of fresh ingredients in their multiple course meal. However, not only Elsa, but also Chef Slowik question Margot’s presence on the island and at Hawthorne. Almost a standoffish feeling, like she is unwelcome to dine in such class, even though she was invited as Tyler’s partner.

I died when the assistant thought she was gonna escape but soon as she said she had no student loans he said you die too 😭

My favorite moment was when Julian was making the cheeseburger, and then serving it to Margot, he was genuinely so happy, as soon as Margot left the restaurant, he completely changed his demeanor into a very depressed, sad chef...like he was reminded again of his misery. I loved this movie, the acting was 10/10.

I loved that movie didn't deteriorate into a gunfight. She saved herself with her wits by giving the villain what he's been missing in his life.

[DjuraValtr]

Her asking her meal to go most likely made the chef felt happy. Simply because in his pov having someone leave with your food is better than seeing it half eaten and thrown away.

[shainaelise]

Saw this in cinema, and didn't know what to expect, but I was ready for there to be a cannibal twist when that one chef served his course with a bang, but they didn't go there. It was so pretentious and funny and refreshing lol.

[samiahfields]

The menu pleasantly surprised me. But Tyler loving the food so much he was willing to die for it and have another innocent person die for it made me so pissed off. Especially since he couldn’t cook. He barely even tried 😂.

[shawnmoney]

Love the ending when the girl felt bad by leaving them in the end and the older lady signaled to her to go ahead and go

[chaseevans]

I think the fact they didn’t fight back at the end was telling. People who’ve had their lives handed to them, by legacy, by putting others down or deception is how everyone in this film made their riches. Not only were they not use to fighting for the things in their life, including their life itself, they were *incapable* of it. A room of sycophants and manipulators so coddled by using money and underlings to run, that when confronted with what real people experience, working to live, they were useless to their very core.

[JokerCrowe]

"Tylers's bullshit" really made me laugh. The depiction and description of the food was a really nice inclusion in the movie. :)

The scene where Margot finally escapes, she turns around one last time to look at the crowd. Her eyes lock on to the wife. Notice the wife motions for Margot to go. I took it as she knew Margot was a victim in all of this, even with her husband, and wanted her to escape.. she mentioned earlier how she looked like their late daughter Claire... which implied she had passed away. and to find out it was Margot with her husband. The pieces clicked together… the look of guilt and disappointment on her face. The wife understood they had to die, even herself because I feel like she felt guilty for not realizing her husband was a perverted creep who was sexually attracted to their daughter, and probably hurt their daughter. Or maybe deep down she knew her husband hurt her daughter in some way and did nothing about it. I feel like that was her punishment and came to terms with what was about to happen. And seeing Margot escape gave her a sense of peace.

as a chef for 30 years, this movie really hit home on a bunch of different points. especially how the love of the craft can just slowly fade over time and it just becomes an exercise in ability. also, the sommelier is hysterical. just so ridiculous.

[brianNJwatson]

Very few actors other than Ralph Fiennes could have pulled off his character so well. It could have easily been over the top. His joy with his cheeseburger return was a masterpiece.

[cinemasnitch]

so happy they managed to avoid any cannibalism as that would have been a bit too much. Perfect balance of comedy and thrills. Not to mention the amazing performances throughout the entire cast. Even the suos chefs in the background are constantly on the ball even when you assumed they would be clocked out.

[zacharylewis]

It was interesting how she was likely still being tested even in the final moments.
1. When she said she was full she asked to take it to go. Implying its good and would still like to eat. Which made him happy.
2. She paid her bill which even he looked surprised.

[sspprashant]

Anya Taylor Joy is actually living her Harry Potter fantasy. First with Narcissa Malfoy in Peaky Blinders, then with Dudely in Queen's Gambit, now with Voldemort in The Menu.

[jondoe]

The critic and her editor thinking it was all a show for them was hilarious. Also the marshmallow vests and chocolate hats cracked me up. 😆

[christinaweiland]

Two thoughts I had were that Tyler intentionally replaced (not broke up with) his girlfriend because he didn’t want her to be killed, and he might as well just purchase someone who he deemed disposable. Another thing that struck me in the end was that any of those other people could have followed Margot out the door, but they didn’t, intentionally choosing to finish the meal by becoming human s’mores. This is one of those movies that just keeps you thinking, and I loved all of the food shots.

[OuzeDH]

I loved this movie. The part where he made the cheeseburger at the end... you could truly feel his joy. My favorite part.

[ojon]

Slowik was an interesting character. He was crazy enough to have his obsession of food, and to lead a suicide pact, but when he experienced some level of happiness he hasn't had in years because of the girl, he was happy to send her off because he knew she didn't deserve to die.

[foolofatook]

Did anyone notice Tyler went through the 7 deadly sins. Wrath, Envy, Lust, Pride, Sloth, Greed and Gluttony
