To think Saltburn was a bit shit

I don’t watch films that often, but watched on Amazon Prime largely due to Carey Mulligan/Rosamund Pike…

It’s visually good, but felt rushed/unbelievable towards the end…

It’s just not convincing - particularly ‘Oliver’…

Where do you stand on the orderliness of mocking someone for their eating disorder (directly to them, as opposed to on a random forum post they'll never see)?

You give it, you take it. Not nice having someone mock you for something ypu cannot help is it? What’s good for the goose…

I loved it! Have watched it a few times now.
I also thought the dry heave comment over someone’s face was out of order.

It was a figure of speech. I wasn't being nasty to him, I was being nasty about him, one post of dozens one one thread of hundreds on one forum of many where the film, that cast, their talent, their faces and everything else will be being discussed in an opinionated fashion. He will almost certainly never see it, and I he did he would not care.

What I find interesting is that the first time you quoted me you just "wow"d and then laughed about his antlers; since then you seem to have become increasingly vexed about it, first posting generally about the unpleasantness of folk, and then when that wasn't enough for you directly @ing me to scold me personally, and then when I refused to be sufficiently cowed you Advanced Searched and went after my eating disorder. As the kids say, "that escalated quickly".

May one assume drink has been taken? I imagine if I AS'd you right now this wouldn't be the only head on which you're spoiling for a fight.

I was furious that we didn’t get to hear more of Farleigh singing Rent, but otherwise I loved it.

i wasn’t that disturbed by any of the scenes though. Possibly that’s concerning! I just thought they were clearly in bad taste but someone sticking their dick in a pile of soil is not something I can’t handle

Absolutely loved it as did my adult DS, friends and family. I was glad I wasnt watching it with DS especially the ending. I wouldn't have known where to look 😂

I loved Richard and Rosamund (I'm not sure if that's her name) as the parents. Personally would have preferred a film of 90mins of them just being bonkers. Overall a middle of the road film that was trying a bit too hard to be edgy. But as said upthread at least it's not another superhero film!

And in this case the reason is what? To shame someone for their eating disorder? If you check out some of my other threads, you'll see my bingeing took off when my mother committed suicide - would you like to tell me that was my fault too? You know, while you're getting the boot in on behalf of the poor vulnerable millionaire movie star?

Oh wow. If she weren't already dead I'd be assuming your were Barry's mum now. You are so upset by me not liking his face you've Advanced Searched me so you can try to publicly shame me for having Binge Eating Disorder on a totally unrelated thread? But you're th champion for kindness here? Well I never is all I can say.

It takes a huge amount of energy, creativity and self belief to write and direct films, I take my hat off to any woman who manages to do it, rather than tear them down

Yes there are lots of half assed film 'critics' on here trying to sound clever.

Fwiw I thought it was bloody funny and a great romp - highly entertaining and beautiful to look at. Not sure I want much more from a film.
