1. What happened to Farleigh?

2. Why was there zero Olly backstory - what inspired him to become a psychopath?

3. Why didn't Felix have an autopsy performed on him, thereby making it clear he was poisoned?

4. What was Olly doing for the decade-plus? Were we supposed to believe he lurked in that coffee shop every day, hoping for a glimpse of her ladyship?

I really enjoyed the movie, it was different but kept me entertained. I can’t answer any of your questions though lol.

It's like someone crossed Brideshead Revisited with The Talented Mister Ripley, but with amazing cinematography and bad writing and acting that is okay at best. And then added a bunch of gratuitous gross sex stuff. It's kind of like, "Look how avant gard we are showing full frontal nudity!" But it is really just super tedious and boring and gross.

An “observation” you stole from the Vulture review:

Saltburn can be shorthanded as Brideshead Revisited by way of The Talented Mr. Ripley, though it’s the former that’s the primary reference point.

Tsk, tsk. Be original.

Hmmm. PP here. I didn't steal it from that review.

I hated this movie. A whole lotta nonsense.

1) His aunt and uncle cut him off financially. Oxford university is expensive so unless Farleigh is able to hustle the funds then he presumably has to drop out of university.

2) I think that he was genuinely in love with Felix, he had sex with his grave and drank his semenly bath water lol, then that evolved into a taste for the Uber rich lifestyle at Saltburn which he coveted. His parents where comfortably upper middle class by the look of their house, maybe in finance or medicine, but not Saltburn rich.

3) I think that Ollie used a high quantity, OD level, of drugs to kill him. The Autopsy likely just said that he partied too hard.

4) They showed a clip of him reading St James Obituary in the newspaper and he presumably then tracked her down. Now considering Ollie factually murdered 3 of the 4 person family, I am inclined to believe that he also killed the 4th even if it wasn’t referenced on screen.

This movie was terrible. It was almost worth it for the party scene. Like if they could make another, better movie at that party I would watch.

It was well done and absolutely depicted the character of reality of a psycho.

Like a British Bret Easton Ellis book.

Pathological liar, insecure, murders, manipulation, bisexuality.

Everything but the kitchen sink!

tpgrapht

I want to say I hated it, but the cinenemotography and enough wit didn't make me hate it entirely. "I's a murder on the dance floor!"

Psycho triller movie

Am gearing up to finally watch dahmer

I was entertained enough but I set aside how ridiculous the plot was, how many holes there were, and how utterly stupid the entire family was. It was pretty to watch and nonsense but entertaining.

Loved the stupid British stiff upper lions and aspie fixation on adherence to the schedule.

Typical bury your emotions and “keep calm and carry on” (as if nothing suspicious or terrible just happened, whilst your kids are bawling their eyes out at someone’s death).

NP. This in no way says what it's about. Can you give an actual plot summary?

1. When Oliver broke the mirror on his dresser, how was it fixed the next day?

2. Farleigh returned to the party and claimed he was invited. So what did happen to him?
