This is a film not for everyone but if you like your class based satire with lashings of jet black humour and sinister undertones its one to watch. I LOVED it. I had to stifle my laughter at times just like I did with Yorgos Lanthimos' The Killing of a Sacred Deer, also starring the ubiquitously brilliant Barry Keoghan. He's quickly becoming one of my favourite actors and it's great to see him in a lead role of a major movie. Similarly excellent turns from Rosalyn Pike and Richard E Grant, and look out for a cameo from Carey Mulligan who starred in the director's last (first?) film Promising Young Woman, which was equally sinister. Most notable is a quietly hilarious piece of acting from Grant when he quips about the simplicity of karaoke. It's genius. The film is a must watch again 8.5 out of ten.
