Saltburn

Gorgeously photographed by Linus Sandgren, it’s both beautifully directed and cleverly written by British Oscar-winner Emerald Fennell, who follows her highly regarded Promising Young Woman with a film of even more staggering impact.

As a class satire, it reaches no conclusions. But it’s filled to the brim with darkly funny, bile-slicked revulsion.

Fennell’s direction outdoes her writing here, and the cinematography from Linus Sandgren is exquisite (no surprise).

Keoghan — as innocent or cunning, oaf or graceful dancer-in-the-near-dark, will leave you amazed at this performance and startled at just what he was willing to do to fit in in “Saltburn” — the great house or the not-quite-great movie.

It’s steamy and transgressive in a straightforward way, an in-your-face bacchanal of sex and violence of the kind Fennell so delights in depicting. But as the film barrels toward its bonkers but highly predictable twist, the shine on Saltburn begins to fade.

In the end, Saltburn doesn’t have a lot to add to the conversation Fennell keeps wanting to have about the power of white men in this world. It’s a surface-level critique of the upper class and a style-over-substance poke at the out-of-touch aristocrats and the bitter have-nots.

Saltburn is a remarkable combination of smart and stupid. Its problem is that it’s superficially smart and deeply stupid. It’s clever and amusing in 20 different ways, but when it really matters, it descends into ridiculousness.

It is an acquired taste. It made me laugh hysterically the entire time. The script was quite good, along with the visuals. It was not a comedy though, but definitely a psychological thriller.

If Saltburn wasn't this stylish, wasn't this well directed, and wasn't this well perform, i will found the film as super average from a story perspective, as i personally didn't really find the story of Saltburn that impressive and amazingly written, completely original or different, i'm still engaged with the characters, i know what's going on and that's the big flaws of the film, i really really love the first 30 minutes of the film because i didn't know what actually gonna happen, and as early as i know what's going on with the plot i was became less and less impress although throughout the film after that there is still some good original interesting scene, there is more than a couple of wild scene in the film and as much as it is pretty much disturbing i really appreciate it, and i do still appreciate a lot from this movie mostly from the filmmaking style and performances, just the story of Saltburn that didn't really amazed me including the twist at the end i can see people's got mind blown by it, i didn't, so overall Saltburn was definitely have the great filmmaking style look check, also great performances by all the cast, the story for me personally was just average, pretty lengthy too, so i can safely say that Saltburn was a bit overrated for me.

Just wanted to say that there are a few disturbing scenes in this movie which are really hard to watch. Overall this is just a waste of time so don't bother watching it.

Interesting camera work. Directionless movie. Not given a shred of well written character traits to hang onto. At no point was there a reason to care about any of the characters. Things just kinda happened out of convenience to plot points to deliver cheap shock. Save your time, skip it. The social media hype train isn’t worth it.
