My wife and I went into this movie blind. Needless to say, we were not prepared for a good deal of it. Still, a fantastic movie that is well acted, beautifully shot, and has a banging soundtrack.

The best way to go into this movie is blind. It hits far better.

The fact that you can see Elordi's character's doppelgänger walking past the window as she speaks about the same thing at breakfast is my favorite little detail. This movie was honestly so well done.

i love the dialogue in this movie, the whole monologue Venetia gives to Oliver is beautiful, also the line Ollie says to Elpheth, "unlike you, i actually know how to work", even though he's not really "poor", he knows exactly the kind of work it needs to be done to achive something...

[@amandadougherty6615]

At the Grave (56:22)- Greg: “I think we’re safe,” desperately hoping what he suspects will happen actually won’t happen. Everyone who’s seen it: “…hehehe” Edit: Bravo on the post-movie commentary. I really enjoyed your takes on the characters and the overarching themes in the movie. Best I’ve seen this far, IMO.

[@ReelRejects]

Ahhh thanks so much for the comment here!

[@ReelRejects]

Please thumbs up the vid! Had to do a few edits cause got flagged a few times so had to blur certain moments I didn't even think we'd need to lol.

[@LAMusing]

what's wild is it is tame compared to MANY other films. No female nudity (a quick glimpse of Venetia butt in the field), no explicit sex, the male nudity was either in dark silhouette at the grave, or the dance in the end which is not in a sexual setting. No overt violence. And yet it;s so intensely erotic folks are losing their minds

[@clarissa182]

I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but the grave scene (you know what part) wasn't scripted. Barry asked for a closed set because he wanted to see where the simple written scene would take him and THAT'S where it took him. Kudos to Barry.

[@Knightowl1980]

And it makes so much sense in the context of the films as best he on my character he didn’t use sex to manipulate

[@acrynellys]

Massive kudos to Barry, and also kudos to Emerald Fennel for trusting her actor ✨️👏👏👏✨️

[@christopherschreiber5805]

That actually makes sense, because it's the kind of thing people probably thought was brilliant in the moment but actually kind of ruins the narrative. He loved Felix, but also hated him. The film obviously wants us to know that, regardless of what Ollie says (because he IS a liar), he always had feelings for Felix. I think the bathtub scene states this pretty plainly. However, by the time we get to the grave he's already killed Felix, so it seems reasonable to assume that he's officially made Saltburn his mission. I can understand the symbolic act of "desecrating" the grave, like I can understand removing the stones from the river, as an act of hate. But why was he crying? Was it upsetting him? Wasn't he, by then, just one step closer to his ultimate goal? It all seems a bit muddled, whereas I think if they had cut or changed that particular scene it might not have been so obvious. Nothing against Barry. I put things like that on whoever has final cut.

[@victorcornet21]

@@christopherschreiber5805 People often have more than one feeling about someone or something - even at the same time. It’s far more realistic than saying a person feels the same way about someone all the time.

[@christopherschreiber5805]

@@victorcornet21 Well that's kind of my point. Is he a person, in the sense that he actually has complex feelings like that, or is he a sociopath who feels nothing? I don't see how a realistic character can just switch back and forth depending on what's convenient for the story.

[@emtims1670]

The unique thing about this movie is what threw people off the most imo. It's that we follow the villain instead of the hero. A lot of people dismissed Oliver's behavior because we don't expect to be in the villain POV. Some critics were saying that his behavior came out of nowhere, but Oliver displayed villain behavior from the start.

[@heltaku9397]

I don't think there is a "hero" here. Felix is a stupid spoiled prince and just barely manages to be the nice one of his family. Every other character is some variety of garbage person. We actually sympathize with Oliver for not being just another privileged a-hole.

[@silver_crone]

I agree. What’s been interesting, is myself and some of my friends who’ve encountered really manipulative partners in the past spent half the film throwing up all the red flags. And we have an unreliable narrator in him, from the first shot, he’s the one sitting there telling the story. Of course he was unassuming at first, of course he sees himself as the hero - a working class boy who’s desperate to get into wealth because look at the rich, who spoiled they are. Like the phrase ‘eat the rich’ didn’t utterly come to mind while watching this.

[@victorcornet21]

@@silver_cronehe struck me as better off than working class, which is probably why the Academy didn’t nominate much, if anything, from this film. It’s really too bad.

ROXY was dead on with her reaction to the vampire scene. We know Venetia has body image issues - bulimia and rampant sexual behavior from the time she was a young teen. Her own mother shrugs it off and says the bulimia "isn't even working". Felix refers to her sexuality as "an embarrassment". Oliver was the first person to accept and adore all of Venetia - through his apparent (feigned?) concern about her bulimia and dom like insistence she care for herself, then fully accepting her body just as it is. That is indeed sexy as hell. Okay - this is long. Sorry! But I love this movie. It was so worth a second watch and a third - I took something new away each time. Powerful, gorgeous, evocative, thought provoking, memorable! Barry Keoghan is just stunning in this - I will line up to watch anything he does. For me, the top performance of the year. Loved him in Banshees - he was so real I actually had the thought it seemed exploitive of this poor simple minded boy, forgetting it was a performance by an actor! He is REAL in everything he does. Rosemond Pike & Cary Mulligan had me on the floor. Venetia is the most broken and sympathetic character - eaten from the inside, even by her own family. Farleigh is sort of in Ollie's position - the poor family member with a begging bowl. Maybe that's why he's so mean to Oliver - he can't accept that in himself. And no, he didn't "know" Oliver was bad news from the start - he was an asshole to him the first time he saw him crossing the campus quad - mocking his jacket. Mocks his poverty again in the rented tux scene. Very self hating, he turns it on Oliver. Jacob Elordi is so beautiful (thanks to Emerald for how she had him photographed as an object of desire). He's so charming and mesmerizing it wasn't till the 2nd watch that I realized how much like Elspeth he actually is - people are disposable when they stop entertaining him - but the audience falls under the same spell as Oliver does. And he and mom are as mush of a voyuerist as Ollie - they feed off the tales of woe and pain from Pamela and Ollie. Tell me ALL the gory details. My fave film of the year. That this film may not even get a cinematography nom is shocking. And the score and music was banging! Just exquisite film making!

[@jennjacinda]

I'm so happy Barry Keoghan is getting some more recognition. I thought he was great in The Banshees of Inisherin and in the small snippet from The Batman among others. I can see him having a long career.

Rosamund Pike is beyond excellent in this. Elspeth was my favourite. Every line was gold😂

[@buzzardbeatniks]

"Common People" was a 1995 song by Pulp about a rich girl who slums around with a poor guy just for the experience, Elsbeth is saying that when the song came out people thought it was about her.

[@freemansteinslab]

This whole experience was fascinating...and it will stick with me for a very long time... One key moment I think is super important, is how Oliver pivots once he sees Pamela discarded by Elspeth, who has clearly grown bored of her and at that moment, Oliver realises that he can't succeed in maintaining a place in the family based just on his perceived deprivation alone So he has to start giving the family what they want to keep them all on his side...which he clearly does until Felix uncovers his deception

[@D_Ella1269]

Yep. I feel like the multitude of articles written about the movie don't talk enough about how quickly Oliver adapted his master plan based on what was happening in real time. Ex: it really took a few tries to dispense of Farleigh, which ultimately happened via Oliver seizing the moment. On re-watch I was able to see this much more clearly.

[@freemansteinslab]

I also noticed this point in the movie is very cleverly marked by the MGMT song "Time to Pretend"

[@Talitha330]

I don't know if anyone has commented this yet but at the breakfast table, when they're talking about Shelley , Felix walks past the window outside wearing the same pink shirt he's wearing in the scene... foreshadowing his death and the Coroner walking by the same window with his body later. This movie 🤌🤌

[@UserHandleNotKnown]

I've watched this film three times, and I saw that for the first time watching this reaction (and then sent a screaming message to my friends about, it, haha).

[@D_Ella1269]

The only thing Oliver lied about to *himself* was how he felt about Felix. He was absolutely in love with him. But then humans can very easily hurt people they love, on purpose, so his actions don't contradict that love. It's interesting how much he perseverated on that topic when talking *at* Elsbeth at the end. Such an excellent movie.

[@rockyrivera6397]

i felt like it was more envy than love. Oliver envied Felix's personality and life and its the reason he took it for himself at the end

[@D_Ella1269]

@@rockyrivera6397 If it was just envy, solely focused on Felix, he would have taken his place, not eliminated the entire family. He also wouldn't have had the extreme (albeit, ironic) reaction to his death. I don't think a plan to kill Felix was in the cards until that day trip. Another instance of Oliver adapting his plan based on the current circumstances.

[@rockyrivera6397]

@@D_Ella1269 oliver was envious of the lifestyle and who Felix is. Oliver even stated "sometimes i loved Felix but a lot of times i hated him" . After he also stated "these past few months ive been the happiest i ever been" when he obtained all the wealth and mansion. Farleigh also gave him a speech that this dream lifestyle and place are not for him. Than to make it more obvious he collected all the rocks not just Felix's rock.

[@DeathBeforeComicSans]

I love how you jumped on all the mildly flirty stuff at the beginning, as if you were afraid you were going to miss the kink! 😂😂😂

[@olivernisbet1120]

The setting of 2006 (or 2007 for everything at saltburn) lends a lot of cultural context, in the UK around that time everybody wanted to be rich and live this kind of life- and no one more than the upper-middle class (which Oliver is implied to be). There was (and still is) a tendency to feel embarrassed about being middle class here, so people try to either align themselves with the 'salt of the earth' working class or the ultra-rich upper class (working class people having an identity and community that's often fetishized by privileged people, explaining why Oliver chose that identity to ingratiate himself to Felix and his family.) Truly an eat the rich movie, but from an less explored pov!

[@kassiogomes8498]

Thank you for your perspective, I really appreciate it. I think Americans have a hard time understanding this film because it's very grounded in British class interrelationships. I have read a lot of posts saying how the film makes the rich people look like good, harmless, and interesting people, and I don't see that at all. They were eccentricity, but they were also horrible to everyone, including themselves.

[@olivernisbet1120]

@@kassiogomes8498 yes exactly! I've seen a lot of people compare it to parasite, and complain that it doesn't have a likeable main character or a good message- which I think is a misunderstanding of Oliver's motivations. It's not a revenge story, it's about the obsession with the culture at the time around generational wealth. All of the characters feel so real because they're complex and have a lot of flaws- they're friendly, condescending, and out-of-touch in the way a lot of rich and privileged people are.

[@deenaprice1524]

I don't understand why everyone says this is in 2006. It says welcome to the class of 2006. They just finished their freshman year. Felix says to Oliver he'll see him back at Oxford. So they started in 2002, and this is the summer of 2003.

[@olivernisbet1120]

@@deenaprice1524 At the start of the film they're just starting at Oxford, in September 2006. The scenes at Oxford span the next couple of months, and Oliver goes to stay at Saltburn in the summer of 2007 (the summer in between their first and second year of uni). When Felix says he'll see Oliver back at Oxford, he means in September 2007 at the start of their 2nd year. (It is kinda confusing, but I think it's a good way to establish the year at the start.)

[@deenaprice1524]

Emerald Fennell said in an interview that this was a "vampire movie", she told her cinematographer that was the look and feel she wanted. She chose the 4:3 aspect ratio to give the impression of "peeping in" at a doll's house, and because she likes extreme close-ups "especially when you're talking about sex and intimacy. You can have a full face. It can fill the frame completely." I became a Barry Keoghan fan after seeing him in The Killing of a Sacred Deer, you should try to see it if you haven't already, it's a great little thriller. 🦌

Rosamund Pike got to stay at Saltburn (Drayton House) for the whole duration of the shoot. For about 4 weeks, she didn't leave the estate once. She said she had nothing to do except discover some new cocktails :) The family who owns the property were very welcoming and accommodating to the cast & crew; considering the house has never been featured on tv or in movie before this. Amazingly, it's been in the same family since the 1300s. The more this movie sits with you, the more you appreciate it. I hope it's nominated for an Oscar because it'll take a lot to beat it. I was blown away with the twist(s) and like Oliver, i'm obsessed with it ;)

Farleigh was supposed to be coked out of his mind during his monologue, so I'm not sure if I agree there.

I'm so glad you guys liked it! I know art is subjective and obviously not everyone is gonna feel the same way about a movie but I'm really tired of people pretending like this wasn't a great movie 😂 I absolutely loved it and I loved watching you guys love it as well

[@MrLizestelle]

It was definitely slow for some people but I loved just vibing with it

[@pandemicjones]

I have been very excited to see this reaction. I saw it in theaters and had the theater to myself. So, I was free to react pretty much as you guys did haha

[@wiiplaya25]

the framing of Venetia telling the Doppleganger story and having Felix walk outside past the window, while the cutting to Felix at the table is so subtle but clever. Also see how you don't get this sense of pseudo satire of classism? People complaining about what isnt there is crazy to me.

[@coreycasciano3255]

This movie was batshit crazy, but i enjoyed every second of it Barry Keoghan has slowly been becoming one of my favorite actors

[@pillowvibes]

this reaction is exactly why I don’t buy ppl online saying the movie was too predictable and the montages were unnecessary and they didn’t need to explain what happened. not everyone catches onto everything when they’re engrossed in a character or plotline. besides, the movie opened with a literal montage of felix (and talked abt him like he was already dead) and the rest of the movie, ofc they were gonna use a montage to explain everything at the end.

[@chloeS950]

I'm pretty sure I read in an interview somewhere that Emerald has said that Oliver absolutely was genuinely in love with Felix, and that's the one time he lied to himself. Their chemistry was too much for me not to believe his obsession! Amazing movie - fun reaction to watch too :)

[@bcn1gh7h4wk]

you know what's the worst part of this? over-the-top characters that you would find in an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery movie, don't exist. *THIS PEOPLE* do. manipulative, scheming, oblivious, unstable, obsessive, .... pretty much every chapter of a psychology book.

[@michellebarry1555]

Shocked this film got snubbed for the Oscars. I guess it was too provocative for the Academy, which is a shame. This was such an interesting movie and I loved Oliver’s character arc. I loved Elspeth, she had some of the best lines.

[@silver_crone]

I love the ending. I had to watch it again, and howled at him dancing at the end. His disgust at the rich even as he does everything to become them, to him dancing around this ‘precious’ place, this untouchable wealth (Felix listing off the history of the place back to Kings), and literally putting his d*ck on all of it. Even digging up the stones, a subtle f*ck your tradition, everything about this movie was brilliant. The shots, the music, the reflections throughout it showing us exactly how Olly was not what he was on the surface. So well done.

[@EleventhCubFan]

They’re actually selling Jacob Elordi Bathwater scented candles.

[@shaneencalade4988]

Felix was part of Saltburn and that was the obsession. But it makes you wonder how much he had studied the family and Saltburn before he started school. Did he already have a plan..... it was always about Saltburn.

[@MissNuttree-ei2ml]

At the beginning of the Oxford Christchurch College dining hall scene you mentioned that it looked like a Hogwarts - actually some scenes were really shot there, in the hall and at the stairs. I was there a few years back at a harry potter tour. Great reaction all the way through this phenomenal movie. Barry and Rosamund were so good, especially her onliners.. Hope the movie gets the recognition it deserves.

[@louisberry4403]

Very good movie with great acting, twists and storytelling. Keoghan And Pike deserve Oscar Nominations. Emerald has proven to be A Promising Young Woman.

[@dawnburris6412]

I thought about The Talented Mr. Ripley when I watched this also! Ollie is more methodical I think. This is a really good movie!

[@applejax1017]

I am so surprised you reacted to this one, but I am SO GLAD you did! Iwatched it a month ago and it has stuck with me..

[@matttyler8331]

Did anyone else immediately notice that kid who ate with him at the very beginning was Aemond Targaryen. It wasn't his looks, it was they way he spoke.

[@puspavelai8353]

Reminds of the saying, "rubbing salt into the wound" - the name itself suggests something sinister coming to the occupants😅

[@sophiaisabelle027]

It is wild knowing that Barry Keoghan put himself on top of Jacob Elordi's grave and did his best not to get made fun of my the rest of the cast and crew behind this film. It's an even wilder film considering everyone isn't afraid of showing their sensitive areas on camera.

[@lindseybeckwith8572]

not sure if anyone’s mentioned this yet, but if you go back to the scene where oliver and felix throw in a stone for oliver’s “dead dad”, the rock doesn’t make it into the water, and instead lands in mud. hinting at oliver’s lies of him being dead in the first place! a cool observation i didn’t notice till i rewatched it. 🤓

[@HoopleHeadUSA]

Rosamund Pike is FLAWLESS in this movie!

[@rileytipper5110]

Absolutely loved this movie , so batshit crazy but also beautiful. Disturbing but a fun time. I really dug it

[@maloneaqua]

It’s seems small thing but I think the massive height difference between Oliver compared to Felix & Farleigh helps the tension in their scenes too

[@jessbailey5178]

Great reaction, you both - insights, predictions, reactions, you both are the ideal audience for this oddly divisive film, thank you for sharing!

[@aragorn402]

The Statue at the center of the maze is a reference to the greek myth of the minotaur that was imprisoned inside a maze.

[@emilymhatton]

Greg saying Elordi was in his real accent had me howling 😂 im so glad he corrected it

[@huvrmedia]

Just noticed that when he's complimenting the families ceramics because they're done by a famous artist, it cuts to a shot of him looking through a book about Saltburn. I figured he was just admiring since he is a fan of these famous artists and they have an impressive collection of art, furniture, etc but now realize that he definitely just read some fun facts in a book he found laying around and totally lied about that too to score more brownie points.

[@minasbaeischaefightme8603]

I think there’s incest going on between Felix and Venetia. Like with Venetia’s conversation with Oliver I do believe that she was talking about her being one of Felix’s toys and even though he’s done with her, he still doesn’t want to share her with someone else. Idk maybe I’m just overthinking it but that’s how I interpreted it.

[@AriaIsara]

I was wondering about that too

[@hanonondricek411]

I love how Felix is an oblivious narcissist and the victim you sympathize with. He's affable and not malicious but just doesn't care since everything is easy. He enjoys willing women and pet friends, and just gets hold of the _wrong one._ He brought this virus of a sociopath into his home turf who wipes out his entire family. The magic trick is making the villain the POV character who lies to the audience and Felix and makes you buy in so your allegiances change. Everyone's gray and the butler is the Final Girl. There's no message nor lesson except beware who you trust. This is an erotic horror movie with shocks instead scares. Oliver's dance is the hawt equivalent of Leatherface whirling on the dirt road.

[@mausilw]

For context, the statue in the labyrinth is the Minotaur, which is associated with the labyrinth in mythology.

[@BiancaGerman-j4g]

I had already watched this film but I thoroughly enjoyed watching it again with you guys!!!!... And listening to Your reactions!! You were spot on with many of your predictions and discernment!!! New Subbie Here!! ❤ Can't wait to watch your other content! 😊.. Y'all are Awesome 😎!!!

[@SparkyClarke]

My favourite film of 2023. I went into this blind and what a ride it was.

[@cazper420]

Liquid IV being the sponsor, and Roxy saying she has some type of liquid phobia is elite 👍

[@TobyC96]

Yes guys I’ve been waiting for this reaction!!! Let’s gooo!!!

[@DownBadGamer]

I just finished watching the movie again and I was like "let me see what reaction was uploaded today before I go into work" and I got so excited because I really wasn't sure if you would actually react to this one or not

[@LondonPride25]

"Daddy's old Teddy" - Brideshead Revisited reference. This movie is Brideshead meets Talented Mr Ripley.

[@AntiHeroApollo]

Twitter hates this movie, but I don’t care. I loved it. Saltburn was literally my favorite movie of 2023. I thought it was going to be like a CMBYN type of movie, but as it progressed, I was just in shock and awe.

[@marlainalindsey3279]

The bathtub scene surprised me the most 😮

[@savieryung4133]

Barry and Jacob have long careers ahead of them.

[@BelieveInMyDaydreams]

I saw this move in the theater and my review was "I think it's good but I can't recommend it to anyone. Literally not a single person."

[@chi11ary]

I’m recommending it to everyone. Friends, family, my father, my boss, my dentist

[@BelieveInMyDaydreams]

@@chi11ary I'm jealous of your courage

[@jarrennickerson1346]

This movie was an absolute surprise. Watched it couple wreks ago and yeah, I was shocked, yes but I just adored the acting, writing, cinematography, etc.

[@NinjaBooKitty]

'Roll tide' OMG the way I screamed! 😆Literally my favorite scene besides the luncheon at the end. 🫦

[@thalunizz21]

These two reactions are hilarious. 😂

[@whoissabal]

Greg truly nailed it on the head with those 2 movie titles

[@klass_1221]

Same thought. When I watched this in the theater. My first reaction was this reminds me of "The Talented Mr. Ripley" (Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow). Also, Greg referenced it looks like an Alfred Hitchcock film. The camera angles and perspectives. Very much Hitchcock style. "Respect the game, Roxy". 😂😂
