SALTBURN (2023) REVIEW
Get ready to buckle up for another wild ride with a what did I just watch vibe. Emerald Fennell's latest masterpiece, "Saltburn". Following her Oscar-winning success with "Promising Young Woman," Fennell takes us on a twisted journey through the corridors of polite society, revealing its dark underbelly with a wicked grin.
In this modern take on "The Talented Mr. Ripley," set in the mid-aughts, Fennell serves up a tantalizing cocktail of seduction and surrealism. Barry Keoghan slithers into the role of Oliver Quick, a scholarship student with a knack for unnerving performances. His target? The effortlessly cool Felix Catton, played by Jacob Elordi, who oozes charm like a leaky faucet.
But let's not forget the supporting cast, each more fabulous than the last. Rosamund Pike steals the show as Felix's melodramatic mother, Elspeth, while Richard E. Grant adds a touch of sweet shallowness as Felix's father, Sir James. And who could overlook Carey Mulligan's return, effortlessly slipping into the role of the clueless houseguest, Pamela?

As tensions simmer and manipulations unfold against the backdrop of Felix's family estate, the atmosphere shifts from sun-soaked luxury to a lurid nightmare. With Linus Sandgren's dreamy cinematography and Fennell's razor-sharp wit, "Saltburn" is a rollercoaster of depravity and desire.
But beware, dear viewer, as Fennell's narrative takes a darker turn than even your wildest imagination could conjure. Yet, just when you think you've grasped the depths of the darkness, Fennell kindly explains it all for you—because who doesn't love a little hand-holding with their horror?
In the end, "Saltburn" may not offer any groundbreaking insights into the lives of the rich and famous, but it delivers a deliciously twisted escape that's sure to leave you craving more.
