Saltburn: Stars say film isn't afraid to push sex scene boundaries

If you've been to the cinema to watch Saltburn, chances are it will have left a mark on your mind.

Saltburn review

Make no mistake, the clever writing is here, as is the style, the sleek technique, and some terrific performances (Rosamund Pike is especially delicious in a supporting role). What's missing, or muddled, is the message - and perhaps even more, the heart.

Saltburn review

Director Emerald Fennell's absurd new film, while entertaining, isn't the wealth satire many want it to be. And it misses an opportunity to be something better.

Candice Frederick, The Huffington Post, 20th November 2023

Saltburn review

A gloriously rude Rosamund Pike isn't enough to save Fennell's wayward tale of bright young things lounging through a summer they'll never forget...

Wendy Ide, The Observer, 19th November 2023

Saltburn review

Emerald Fennell's class satire is diabolically clever, but there is a void at its centre.

Richard Brody, The New Yorker, 17th November 2023

Saltburn review

An uneven gothic romp.

James Saynor, The Arts Desk, 17th November 2023

Saltburn review

There is nothing old or dull about this in-your-face black comedy.

Grant Rollings, The Sun, 17th November 2023

Saltburn review

Party with the poshos in the naughty noughties.

Adam Flood, NME, 17th November 2023

Saltburn review

Emerald Fennell's posh thriller is an inconclusive class satire, but also great fun.

Clarisse Loughrey, The Independent, 16th November 2023

Saltburn review

Emerald Fennell's class comedy is Highsmith without the wit.

Danny Leigh, The Financial Times, 16th November 2023
