Our take on Saltburn

Emerald Fennell's 2023 comedy-drama-thriller follows Oliver Quick, a student struggling to find his footing at Oxford, who is swept into the orbit of the charming, aristocratic Felix Catton. When Felix invites him to spend the summer at Saltburn, his eccentric family's sprawling estate, Oliver enters a world of privilege, indulgence and simmering tension he won't soon forget. Fennell blends dark humor with unease and class fascination, turning envy and desire into something provocative and unsettling. It suits viewers who like stylish, transgressive stories about wealth, obsession and outsiders looking in, and are comfortable with edgier material. Bold and divisive, it's aimed at those who prefer their comedies laced with menace.
