Searchlight Pictures’ ‘The Menu’ is coming to Disney+ on 4th January 2023 in the UK and Ireland.
The film stars Ralph Fiennes, Nicholas Hoult, Anya Taylor-Joy, Arturo Castro, Mark St. Cyr, Judith Light, Reed Birney, Janet McTeer, Paul Adelstein, John Leguizamo, Rob Yang, Aimee Carrero and Hong Chau.
In ‘The Menu’, a couple, Margot (Anya Taylor-Joy) and Tyler (Nicholas Hoult), travel to a coastal island in the Pacific Northwest to eat at an exclusive restaurant, Hawthorn, where the reclusive, globally celebrated Chef Julian Slowik (Ralph Fiennes) has prepared a lavish tasting menu for select special guests.
Joining the couple are three young, already inebriated tech bros, Bryce (Rob Yang), Soren (Arturo Castro) and Dave (Mark St. Cyr), an older wealthy couple and repeat clients, Anne and Richard (Judith Light and Reed Birney), renowned restaurant critic Lillian Bloom (Janet McTeer) and her slavish magazine editor Ted (Paul Adelstein), and a famous middle-aged movie star (John Leguizamo) with his assistant Felicity (Aimee Carrero).
Hosted by the immaculately dressed front of house staff led by general Elsa (Hong Chau), the evening unfolds with increasing tension at each of the guest tables as secrets are revealed and unexpected courses are served. With wild and violent events occurring, Slowik’s motivation begins to rattle the diners as it becomes increasingly apparent that his elaborate menu is designed to catalyse to a shocking finale.
‘The Menu’ is directed by Mark Mylod with a screenplay by Seth Reiss & Will Tracy.
