The chasm between people who love or hate this film is huge. I find myself in neither camp. I enjoyed the film's excesses. The lengths at which Oliver Quick devours the Catton family were... ahem... creative. Oliver Quick felt like a younger, working-class version of Patrick Bateman, and while we are on the subject, I can easily see Saltburn getting the same cult-classic following as American Psycho. But I was frustrated by how unfocused the film was on its ideas. Is this a critique of the billionaire class or people who idolize billionaires? Are people who want to leach off of their wealthy connections good or bad? A social satire like this can be delicious, but we need to know what exactly is being targeted. Saltburn is a film with so much momentum and potential. Regardless, I think its problems might be completely irrelevant in the end.
