The "Superbad" clip was an excellent clue to the twist, since it showed Fogell lying about his identity as McLovin, when Oliver is also lying about who he really is.

[ishand]

Did anyone notice Elspeth take off her ring when she ran into Oliver at the coffee shop after James Catton's death... You can see her wearing it at the start of the scene and later in the scene when she's touching Oliver's arm it's removed!

The curtains being closed to reveal a red room in combination with the overflowing red wine similar to Venetia’s impending death scene

In the movie when it is revealed that the father Sir James is dead, I believe it to because of suicide. Elsbeth says something along the lines of “I can’t believe he waited so long”. Would make sense because the pain of losing both of his children would be unbearable

[tdelioncourt]

I don't think he necessarly killled the father.
He just made sure none of the children would inherit, flirts gently with Rosamund. All was left to do was to show up when she'd become a widow, which would eventually happen considering the age gap and finish the work. He took his money and left, maybe respected him in a way because he did felt threatened by him and not untouchable like the rest of the bunch.

There's so so much to this movie!! It's so clever, funny, and stylish, so it's disappointing the amount of people I see saying "it's all about the shock value of the disgusting scenes" etc ... if that's all you took from this film, that's on you.

[huseyin.]

Wow the Doppelganger one is very unsettling and clever 😮

[jamescorvus]

I don't know if this is an idea but Oliver could be nod to "Oliver Cromwell" who was famous for ruling the Country after beheading the King Charles I. A lower person beheading a monarch or noblemen in the case of Saltburn. Also to add to the Minotaur, Felix's costume is cupid-like but could also be reminiscent of Icarus with him having a "fall" of sorts with Icarus being the son of the builder of the Labyrinth to hold the Minotaur, Daeleus.

The way Oliver snatches the tube out of Elspeth's throat is revolting.

[yvudtlk]

The way Felix' father reacts to his death...saying "My Darling Boy" While smiling that moment was basically my confirmation to the fact that his father was the only "human" in the family.. and that is the only reason why Ollie had to wait 15 more years to get what he wanted...

[Cheery]

Not sure if it’s an Easter egg as such, but in Oliver’s very first meeting with Farleigh, when reading his essay, he says about ‘a gallop of lines’. In his very last conversation with Farleigh, he says that Farleigh was ‘racking up lines’.

[tdhplih]

It's perhaps a bit too obvious to be a true foreshadowing, but Felix's outfit at the party includes angel wings when he's just minutes from getting his own ones...

The way Oliver snatched the tube out of Elspeth's throat, ✨iconic✨

There are so many interpretations of this film which I think makes it a good one. My main interpretation was that this film is about vulnerability. Despite aristocrats typically being guarded and elusive to preserve their wealth the film reveals that everyone has vulnerabilities based on their deepest desires. These can be exploited to build trust as Oliver does so tactfully. I think the maze represents the path to each persons vulnerability.

Felix - Oliver positioning himself as a "working class", innocent, harmless boy appeals to Felix's desire to be superior
Elspeth - Oliver complimenting Elspeth under the statue appeals to her desire to be beautiful and to seek validation
Venetia - Oliver pleasuring Venetia outside his window appeals to her desire to be desired and be beautiful (like her mum)
James Clark - Oliver knowing about Palissy plates appeals to his desire to own expensive ceramics not accessible to the majority of people
Farleigh - Oliver empathising with Farleigh over his family situation in addition to masturbating him appeals to his desire to fit in and seek pleasure

Clearly there is a Machiavellian theme throughout the entire film; "Machiavelli presented the view that politics is amoral, suggesting that unscrupulous actions involving deceit, treachery, and violence are permissible means of acquiring and maintaining political power"

[TheJin]

I noticed in the opening title sequence, when the choir sings "the king", Barry Keoghan's name comes up on the screen at the same time. Maybe a nod to the fact that he becomes king of the castle?

[arroyalpain]

I caught that doppleganger story and I saw Felix’s “doppleganger” when I saw it!! I thought that would be the twist at the end of the movie - esp w Oliver’s complete 180. I was wrong but it would’ve been pretty cool!

[monroe]

the actual owners of the Saltburn house (Stopford Sackville family) are mentioned when the family discusses the dinner with the "henrys" -

[marygoodson]

I adored this film and and am in love with Barry Keoghan! He was also brilliant in The Banshees of Inisfree.
