“The Menu” (** out of four) was a twisted black “comedy” about a group of guests (Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult, John Leguizamo, and many others) who travel to a remote island for an exclusive restaurant where the iconoclastic chef (Ralph Fiennes) has more than a few surprises in store for his guests and his fellow kitchen assistants. Highly bizarre and offbeat story is crammed with irony and over-the-top humor but the overall oddity and ugliness (no pun intended) leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Director Mark Mylod and cinematographer Peter Deming try to give this as much polish and style as much but can’t overcome central story and script deficiencies.
