Chuyện bình thường, phim nào cũng có người thích người không :) Có phim 76% người thích thì có nghĩa là 26% người không thích. Còn phim chỉ 25% người thích (mình nghĩ chắc dở lắm) thì tức là vẫn có 25% người thích mà :)
Nếu bác muốn biết người ta (critics + other viewers) thích ở chỗ nào thì vào đây đọc cho biết: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_menu
Còn quan điểm cá nhân tôi thì như này (tôi chưa đọc cái page đó, để viết cái này cho bác không bị undue influence): thứ nhất là the acting is good, all around. HC's acting is good in the sense that she commands the scene with her in it. She shows she can stand her own against actors who are more experienced and with higher profile than her (Ralph Fiennes).
Judging actors is subjective, nhu*ng bác cứ nghĩ như này cho dễ: 1 person's acting is good if it makes us remember her or her scenes :)
Thứ hai, the movie is highly metaphorical. It is not a literal story where someone kills themselves and their restaurant staff. Instead, it is about the "death" of the soul of those people, having stayed in this isolated cocoon for so long. It is also about the behavior of those rich people, who think themselves better than the rest of us, more privileged, more "civilized" than the rest of us just because they can afford those meals. Their soul is just as dead, and by continuing in the indulgence, they contribute to the demise of the restaurant staff.
The girl survived because she's considered innocent. She still has life in her, she doesn't have all the baggage associated with a long dreary existence or the vain adulation of wealth yet.
It was technically a horror movie, but it's so a dark comedy :)
