I usually enjoy anything that takes the piss out of the “foodies.” But I didn’t get this. I wanted to like it. Really. I feel dumb for not getting it. Reading the tone from the beginning, you know that somebody’s going to be poisoned or cannibalized or something. You just know. It’s that kind of movie. So, when the weirdness starts, it’s not that surprising. It’s puzzling why none of the diners fight back. Grab a fork and take out somebody’s eye. It might have been more interesting if we found out they were all suicidal. It’s unclear to me why a cheeseburger would be the thing that would allow the heroine to escape. I don’t really get the subtext. What was the theme of this? What’s the point? What’s the parable part of it? Seems to me that the only reason why filmmakers made THIS particular movie is because it all took place in one room and they could make a Covid pod. Otherwise, I didn’t see the point and it… (dramatic pause) …left a bad taste in my mouth.
