    Perhaps the movie goes too far with its provocations (only then to pull the rug out from underneath the audience) however it is hard to deny how well Strickland and the actors capture exactly the right tone here. All of the characters take themselves so seriously while saying completely ridiculous things which is much funnier than if everyone was winking at the audience.

    Weird but good. Great characters and some good laughs. Also proves that a story can contain a lot of sex that's thematically relevant without the viewer being forced to actually watch it take place in graphic detail.

    I fully expect this film to get a lot of bad reviews. I expect that the filmmakers knew it would get a lot of bad reviews. That's what makes it so amazing…. They just didn't give a f*#&. This film was irreverent, funny, thoughtful, and badass. It's art without a filter and I love it.

    If horror and comedy combined into this then we are all doomed. An unfunny, self-aware, unimportant masquerade as art. Peter Strickland has been given way too many chances and continues to fail in virtually every target. His films somehow keep getting worse. No matter how absurd or irreverent, it is boring as heck. Final Score: 0.9/10

    Why did I think this was horror? It was just slow and weird postmodern “comedy.”

    @David B is a simpleton god-hole and @Ali M like little kids and projects it onto others because of his immense shame. Idiots.

    This won't be for everyone, but it really does go there to poke a ribbing at the over pretension of some art groups/organisations. The hierarchy's of what constitutes art, who has control over ‘taste' etc. Hence, I assumed Strickland used the medium of food art, to pose the question of artistic taste? Also, perhaps a commentary on the over-exposure social media plays in society and artistic endeavours, people will expose the minutia of their health for any attention and call themselves a content creator. And in some way with any aspect of art - do we read too much to find meaning? Is that the absurdity being exposed through the directors dark phyton-eque scenes? Creating vignettes without any real purpose, but to bait us to find the artistic meaning? The Standout is Gwendoline Christy in Giles Deacon's. The night cap was hilarious, she looked a silky Harvey bunny at one point!

    I believe Peter Strickland must be somewhat derange, a grow man with adolescent perversions, a sicko with no grasp of what filmmaking is. The poster is the biggest spoiler, it is exactly what it shows. I am baffled why any actor with an ounce of talent would agreed to be a part of this travesty, a film that promotes pedo sexuality. I will definitely never watch anything Peter Strickland directs ever again and I hope for the sake of cinema he will never step behind the camera or near a film set again. There's nothing flowing (Faux) nor Gourmet about this movie. If I could I would give this zero stars.

    I like the other films by this director, but this one just felt empty.

    I just don't get why these kind of movies get high ratings. Yeah, it was arty, but it made no sense and so, of course, I'm the idiot because i don't understand/appreciate the art of it. And btw, its about as much of a horror movie as Forrest Gump. Nothing to see here, move along people
