The Menu – A Macabre Reflection on Passion, Power, and the Price of Meaning
The Menu is billed as a black comedy, but aside from a few moments, I didn’t laugh much. Instead, I saw it as an exaggeration of truths that already exist in elitist American life. The absurd premise is certainly darkly humorous, but beneath the satire, many moments rang uncomfortably real — especially in its depiction of the arrogant, egotistical ways of the 1%.

Whisper Hollow
Directed by: Liane Arber Main Cast: Thuso Mbedu, Finn Elliot, Hiroki Tanaka, Eve Best When my mother passed, someone left a cassette in our mailbox. No label, just a sticky note that read, “For the memory.” On it was a single track—an old lullaby in a language none of us recognized. My sister swore she remembered it from childhood. I didn’t. But I couldn’t stop listening to it. That same eerie, buried-in-your-bones feeling runs through every moment of Whisper Hollow, a horror film that doesn’t try to scare you—it tries to haunt you.
