Ever go out for a meal with friends, and something occurs that prompts a less than pleasant retort to the wait staff, or a comment sent to the chef?
If so, there's always that chance that someone in your group is going to warn you about the waiter or whomever "spitting in your food."
This is worse.
Much worse.
In the case the chef in question - at a VERY special venue on Hawthorne island just offshore traveled by boat - is played by Ralph Fiennes, doing his best Gordon Ramsay, with an attentive staff shouting "Yes, Chef!"
Having been a diner on one of Mr. Ramsay's shows, I can attest to the attentiveness and shouting.
You'll find that requisite group of diners - Nicholas Hoult, Janet McTeer, John Leguizamo, Judith Light et al, with a single outlier, in this case Anya Taylor-Joy.
While there's a bit of background to be discovered as to the why of the gathering, suffice to say that this could have been the third in the ongoing series of "onion" films.
The fun here is watching the group of extremely wealthy diners squirm as the tale unfolds, and they begin to understand why they've been invited to the exclusive gathering.
As a Blu-ray, the Searchlight film via Fox via Disney is a gorgeous affair. It's yet another of those shot and finished in 4k productions that looks fully 4k on Blu-ray in projection (at a nominal seating distance).
For those into cooking shows, this is Hell's Kitchen - for real.
