Hawthorne, a fine dining establishment set on an island in the Atlantic Ocean, hosts a dozen guests an evening and is run by a stern chef that offers not just a dining experience but one that appeals to all the senses. As the evening progresses, it becomes clear that the experience is turning into an adventure that no one is sure if and how it can be escaped. The Menu is a contemporary parody that sends its arrows in the direction of how culture has become a celebration of cliches and screams. “This deliciously savage comedy from director Mark Mylod makes every bitter mouthful count” (Screen Daily).
