Saltburn (2023)
9/10
Saltburn delivers on every level, a captivating film.
17 November 2023
Oliver Quick becomes captivated by fellow student at Oxford, Felix. When Felix tells Oliver that his father has died, Felix invites Oliver back to his family home, the grand mansion estate of Saltburn.

Imagine coming from a humble background, and being dropped into a world of luxury and abundance, where aristocrats live their lives detached from reality.

This had me captivated from start to finish, truly one of the most unique and original films that I've seen for some time.

The trailer captivated me, I had high expectations, if I'm honest, it exceeded my expectations. The writing oozed quality, great story, with some magnificent characters.

At times it's bizarre, amusing, sexy and intriguing, and at times it's just plain weird. It simmers away for the most part, until the last fifteen minutes or so, when it transformation with a jaw dropping twist.

Beautifully filmed, it looks amazing, some of the camera work is exquisite, and that building is simply glorious.

The acting is first rate, Rosamund Pike, Richard E Grant and Carey Mulligan are all spot on, Barry Keoghan however, his performance deserves awards, that dance!! Won't forget that in a hurry.

Loved it, and didn't want it to end.

9/10.
