Considerng that I just watched the movie, my impressions are really fresh... and I have to say very confilicting. On one side you have beautiful scenery, a cast of amazing actors, and on the other a script with some semi coherent start and finish. Enough for a tier A film, Right?
**Spoilers ahead** My interest in the movie plummeted the moment Felix died (or was killed off). The narrative was very coherent up until that point. His death doesnt make a lot of sense to the story, yes Oliver was pissed off and in his psychotic rage wanted to take him out. The main objective of the story shifts from Felix to the Saltburn estate, which was somewhow never the ultimate goal until the 3/4s of the film? Maybe this movie wasnt designed to be a gay romance, but I have to say that i came with those expectations, and was wholly dissapointed when the main storyline simply moved on from Felix like he wasnt the main focus for so long... it just doesnt make a lot of sense to me.
Rosamund Pyke was amazing, the whole cast was just 10/10, but the narrative... idk man.
