One of several films with anti-capitalist revenge fantasies to grace theaters this year, the message being served up by “The Menu” is one you’ve seen before, but with enough dramatic flourishes to make it a meal worth savoring. Chef Slowik (Ralph Fiennes, “The English Patient”) has prepared an unparalleled dining experience for his well-heeled guests, who include a young couple played by Anya Taylor-Joy (“The Queen’s Gambit”) and Nicholas Hoult (“Mad Max: Fury Road”). To say what’s in store for the guests would ruin the surprise, but this pitch-black comedy has enough twists that at least one will likely catch you unaware.
How to watch: “The Menu” is streaming on HBO Max.
