Okay so the internet is full of mixed reviews about Saltburn. On the one hand we have people who can’t stop raving about how awesome and brilliant it is. And on the other we have people who are saying that it is the most depraved and insane thing that they have ever seen. Now I was interested in this movie from the second I saw the trailer so we are going to go ahead and see which side is correct, or if we land somewhere in the middle. I couldn’t in good conscience put out my ranking list for the films of 2023 without watching this movie so here we go with my review of Saltburn.

Honestly I think the movie was incredibly well done and truly visually beautiful to watch. It was a very well crafted plot. The sinister undertone was paid off quite well at the very end. He targeted Felix and his family in order to inherit Saltburn and it did it so brilliantly. It’s a very eat the rich kind of story and it was perfectly articulated. Because let’s remember that Oliver’s character was not poor. He was from a very upper middle class family who could fully afford to pay for him to go to Oxford. This is eat the rich for the sake of eating the rich and that is even better somehow. And Barry was the perfect cast for Oliver, he is great and playing little weirdos.
