🌊 Dive deep into the picturesque facade of Saltburn with our Saltburn analysis as we unravel the layers of unexpected classism, pretentiousness, and shock-value storytelling that lurk beneath.

In this Saltburn review, we explore the problematic aspects of Saltburn, shedding light on its well-acted scenes and stunning visuals that, unfortunately, mask a questionable narrative that often falls prey to sensationalism and an overreliance on shock value. Saltburn is what happens when the director thinks they’re a philosopher and a philosopher Emerald Fennell is not.

🔍 In this Saltburn explained, we break down the problems with Saltburn's storytelling, pointing out instances where the message seems to be mishandled for the sake of a dramatic twist. While the film may appear to be a biting satire, we delve into the subtle and not-so-subtle nuances that contribute to its classist undertones.

🎭 Appreciate the talent of the actors involved in bringing Saltburn to life, but also examine how the narrative choices may perpetuate harmful stereotypes and fail to deliver a meaningful message. I love Jacob Elordi and Barry Keoghan...but this is nothing more than an empty Talented Mr. Ripley rip-off.

🤔 Are the aesthetic pleasures of Saltburn enough to outweigh its narrative shortcomings? No. Saltburn is trash, Saltburn is very, very bad and Griffin (@griffschiller) gets into why. Enjoy this Saltburn movie review explaining the huge problem with saltburn, why Saltburn is all style and zero substance, when the ending ruins the entire movie, why Saltburn fails, why saltburn is a bad movie, and why saltburn is tryhard cinema.
