The Menu is the second meal theme film to be released this year in the UK. The first was the Welsh film The Feast. Both films have their own take on the class divide.

In the early 18th century the frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) sits on the throne of Great Britain. Her friend and advisor Sarah Churchill, the Duchess of Marlborough (Rachel Weisz), plenty much rules the country. When […]
