I watched Saltburn recently and have been thinking about it a lot. My thoughts have oscillated between tepid enjoyment and a sort of secondhand embarrassment: I'm not sure if this movie was good and I'm also not sure if it was bad. Curious what you guys thought of this movie.

Simple- it's a bad film. I call it "The Talented Mr. Ripley From An Untalented Director"

I appreciated your thought on Fennell as a director. After seeing this movie, which did move something in me for some reason (can’t place it exactly, but I think it’s mostly aesthetics), I looked up interviews about the movie with the director. My impression of her was that she spoke a lot but wasn’t saying much. I think she thinks this movie is saying a lot more than it really is. It is also disheartening that this story is being told by someone of her background, though you can’t hold how someone was raised against them. But maybe it would have been more impactful if she had handed the story over to a different director. This movie touched me in the same way that Call Me By Your Name did. Both stunningly beautiful with great acting, but at the end of the day it wasn’t much of a thinker for me, which are usually my favorite kinds of movies.

“Fun to watch but not as fun to think about” is a great conclusion.

Yeah, I went through a similar sort of thing. It's like a 'the less you know, the better' sort of movie. I agree you can't hold someone's background against them but I do think people should have some self-awareness and ability to "read the room", which Fennell really seems to lack. anyways, thanks for your thoughts and support! -michael

Well said. I waited to watch this until after I watched Saltburn and wasn't disappointed but your analysis. It was visually stunning, adequately acted, but the writing and direction seemed a bit lacking. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

The line "Oliver's thoughts towards Felix transcend romance, they are existential", is fantastic prose. Beyond that it, you make a powerful summation of the themes of the movie. I think the bathtub scene (ick) is very telling of how much Oliver wants to take Felix into himself and make him into himself, almost a sort of cannibalism.
