I read a review on Letterboxd which basically said that that the homoerotism present in the first two acts was completely turned on its head in the third one, but yours luckily made it more captivating (I was already very intrigued and I was side-eyeing criticism, but that review had lowered my interest a tad).
Yeah, tbh I didn’t love the ending, just in full transparency, but the lead up to it is anything but boring! I think it’s worth the watch because Barry Keoghan does manage to infuse his character with enough depth to make a number of different readings of the film possible.
I hope the beginning and the middle part save it in my eyes. Bad ending almost always ruin everything for me. Barry is indeed phenomenal. I first saw him in Dunkirk and kept following his career.
Can I ask you something though? I remember seeing an article that used The Talented Mr. Ripley as a comparison title for Saltburn and I wanted to know your opinion on the matter (if you watched the adaptation).
Agh! I’ve actually never seen The Talented Mr. Ripely, but it’s on my list and I know what it’s about. I’d say they have similar themes but again, I haven’t seen it! I’d be eager to hear what you think after watching!
