Saltburn (2023)
3/10
Poor man's Talented Mr Ripley
8 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Things we learned:

1) The police force today has a similar detecting ability and use of technology as the 60s. It's surprisingly easy to get away with multiple murders.

2) Big Stately homes don't have complicated lines of succession/inheritance.

3) When someone starts acting bizarre for no apparent reason, that's a big turn on.

4) Sucking bodily fluids from various orifices and surfaces is a really sound metaphor , great satire and not a substitute for character development.

5] films are not derivative if they interlace scenes with good cinematography and some arty music. It is does not mask an incredibly shallow and dull plotted movie.

6) the pay off can be obvious and on the nose as long as it does it to a quirky dance number naked a la American Psycho.

7) wasting such enormous talents on such a banal and empty script is not a crime.
