Saltburn

[EachandEveryone]

On Amazon from today. I saw it at cinema now im going to watch it again. I enjoyed it but it is quite cringy in parts😃

You're not a nice person are you?

Concentrate on the fact he was in foster care with his Brother after his Mum died of a drug overdose. He has done good for himself and seems like a really nice person in interviews.

Barry K models for the likes of Gucci so her seems to do just fine whatever individuals may say about his looks

Here's to Barry K 🥂🍻 and all those who helped him along the way. He didn't have a great start in life, through no fault of his own and I'm delighted he is doing so well.
I was so disappointed he didn't get the Oscar for best supporting actor last year. His was a powerful and heartbreaking performance in The Banshees of Inisherin

Getting away from BK's looks and back to the film, I watched it last night and thought it was great. I didn't see the twist coming at all, and thought the bit about him being middle class was really interesting. It marked his downfall with Felix and ultimately Felix and the rest of the family's end.
I've had a couple of posh friends "adopt" me and while of course I'm not comparing it to the film, there was a bit of a familiarity. Not as a toy although one did refer to me as her charity case there was definitely a feeling of their wanting to share their life with me as something I didn't have. Hard to explain.

i saw this, i guessed he was lying about his parents.
felix was nice to look at.

it was a good film, rosamund pike was very good, as was Richard E Grant,
i cant remember Barry K in Banshees
Farleigh was an absolute nasty piece of work to Barry

oh and it had Lolly Adefope from Ghosts
and Joshua McGuire too

Around an hour in, stylish so far.

Rosamund Pike is my fave.

I've just read, what a change to have a British actor who isn't private school educated and privileged. Bravo.

He isn't British, he is Irish - born in Dublin.

@FitAt50 less of an issue with the private school then.

But my bravo still stands.

How can you forget Barry K in Banshees @Willmafrockfit ?
It was such a powerful performance.

OMG his character was heartbreaking - brilliant acting

what a fabulous film

I was irritated by the director having Oliver hold his cutlery 'incorrectly'. Ffs the working classes do have table manners. Anyway.

An absolutely dire Brideshead Revisited rip-off with disgusting scenes that seemed to be there for no discernible reason. Although I do know some people like the main character, so desperate to go up in the world they stop at almost nothing!

LOL@ disgusting scenes 😂

LOL at having to edit a three 'word' post.

can you remind me, i can only remember the fingers, and the wee donkey

oh i have googled it thanks @LadyEloise1

He was abused by his father and in love with Colin Farrell's "sister". He died tragically.
He was a bit gormless but knew right from wrong.

I enjoyed it but ultimately it was pretty vacuous. The country house summer with a sense of foreboding is such a well trodden path that I really was expecting it to go somewhere different but it didn’t. There were a few shock scenes chucked in but apart from that it was a pretty routine romp through the cliches of the genre. I thought it was going to be far more subversive.

Richard E Grant was totally wasted. He could have done that performance in his sleep. Loved Rosalind Pike though.

I didn't want to mis quote you.

If you listen to podcasts this week's episode of Where there's a will, there is a wake (with Kathy Burke) features Emerald Fennell and is really funny.

I love this film! Didn't see the plot twisting the way it did. Wish I'd seen it at the cinema for the scenery and beautiful house. Lots of actors with real presence - scene where they eat after the event (don't want to spoil it ) masterpiece and exaggerated play on repression and manners above everything.

Just watched it and absolutely agree. Although Felix was likeable and kind, there was an element of 'poverty porn' which can be seen in some wealthy circles. Eg when Oliver overheard Felix talking about his background. Almost as if working/middle class people are a different species to them and don't belong in their environment. One can only imagine what the director really thinks of those not from her background.

Agree. Like those social mobility threads people desperate to find out how to push their kids up the social scale. Bizarre. Why? Dd has a friend from a saltburn type family and some of the brothers friends (at top super famous public school) took the mick out of her accent and said they could tell she went state. Not sure I want her going there any more really.
