Writer-director Emerald Fennell won the best screenplay Oscar for her first feature film, PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN, three years ago. Her second feature, SALTBURN, is in theaters now. SALTBURN begins as a comedy-drama that pokes fun at ultra rich people, but halfway through, the movie turns into a wicked and disturbing psychological thriller that revels in its own depravity. The acting is great and the cinematography and production design are top notch. But I found myself cringing at several of the most provocative scenes. The film’s trailer calls SALTBURN “a gothic thriller dusted with poisonous candy-pop glitter.” Expect something outrageous. (With Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, Archie Madewke, Alison Oliver, and Carrie Mulligan)
