Saltburn (2023)


A pitch-black comedic thriller about a lower-class university student that develops a crush on his rich classmate who invites him to spend the summer at his family's mansion, where he quickly adopts their hedonistic lifestyle. The excesses in this movie rubbed me the wrong way the whole way through, until you finally realize the stakes of just what is happening here. Will push buttons and engage the audience ick factor more than once, but it's worth the price of admission. The end result is rather twisted and insane, but kind of brilliant.
