This movie had so much potential but doesn't live up to the hype.
And it's a poor remake/ adaption of Talented Mr Ripley..( Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Phillip Seymour Huffman.) Now that was a classic with frenetic pace and suspense, that was largely missing from Saltburn. Barry Keoghan is no Matt Damon. Other than a few funny lines from the fabulous Rosamund Pike, I was getting bored. Overrated shock value scenes and this is what qualifies as Oscar material these days?. Disgusting.
If you want to watch British aristocracy , a few episodes of the Downton Abbey will be more interesting.

Best picture oscar?? Please.. Not impressed at all with Netflix's oscar nominations this year. (this movie along with Lost Daughter and Tic tic boom).
First half is hopelessly slow. The pace picks up a bit in the second half. But takes an unexpected homoerotic turn. This aint Brokeback Mountain. Now that was a great movie.
Benedict Cumberbatch is good with what material he got to work with. Kristen Dunst has nothing to do other than cry and whine and get drunk.

Lot of cringe in this show. Valerie Cherish gets humiliated over and over. It was funny the first couple of times. But the way she gets horribly treated by the writers, especially the offensive Paulie G character, is hard to watch. They could have made her character more strong, and less annoying and stupid.
The show was indeed ahead of its times, well over a decade before the #MeToo movement and the exposure of the misogyny prevailing in the male dominated entertainment industry (similar to other industries like tech and finance), which is clearly why the show didnt get good reviews and was cancelled after season 1.
I thought season 1 was better than season 2. Fastforward 10 years and the show made another 'comeback'. Season 2's premise was that the Valerie comes back as a 'meaner' version of her, so to speak, to star in a HBO sitcom about her character from the season 1 sitcom written and directed by her nemesis Paulie G. I didnt notice much of a difference in Lisa Kudrow's portrayal of this supposedly more nastier Valerie. She isnt half as mean as Paulie G was to her in season 1. Just the same grating voice and being idiotic, so it was hard to root for her or the show. And like the other writer says "why would you even work with him again?". Just a weak story line.
