Jacob Elordi is a MOVIE STAR in ‘Saltburn’

And what about Barry? Do his unconventional facial features render him a thespian?

R1 OP said a movie star. Not a thespian. They aren’t one and the same.

Another American-funded and distributed production being passed off as a British film.

Don't the Brits have their own film industry anymore, or have they been incorporated into Hollywood?

R3 you asked that stupid question already on another thread.

R1 Barry's character is on the fug side of plain and uninteresting. I guess Joe Locke wasn't available for the role.

That isn’t Barry’s character. That’s is Barry. He doesn’t have a face to be a movie star. Also, acting ability has nothing to do with being a movie star.

Barry looks like an anteater.

How's the movie, OP? I'm curious.

I’m keen the see “Saltburn” based on the trailer, and I’m open to liking Elordi. But I have to say, while he was attractive in “Priscilla,” and was good (if nothing like Elvis) I didn’t get the idea from his work there that he was a star waiting for the right vehicle.

Elordi is fine in Saltburn and that's it. His performance is nowhere near OP's hyperbolic praise. Keoghan is the stronger performer. I actually thought Rosamund Pike was the scene-stealer. She's excellent in the film. She deserves an Oscar nom.

The movie is dark, twisted, and fun. There are a few scenes that stunned the audience.

I agree.

I'm not a fan of hers based on the vibe she gives off in general, but even in the trailer for this she really stood out.

"he is having such a massive moment right now" -what a load of shit!

Blanche: Who wrote this review? Dorthy: His mother.

The reviews are mediocre.

Is the director trans?

The reviews for the film are mediocre. Not for his performance.

Dear God. We aren’t gonna compare an actress who has been working since before Elordi was born to Elordi. This is about his performance. Not Rosamund. She was phenomenal and I stated on my thread that she should be in the Oscars conversation.

Elordi was enchanting.

R13 clearly hasn’t been paying attention.

He’s all the buzz right now

Don’t be an Asshole R16…you’re not talented enough to perform the role.

Is the penis large?

A movie star?! Who makes this shit up?

He is phenomenal in his role. And gorgeous.

This movie is a dud. It's a rip off of The Talented Mr. Ripley, but completely inept in its execution and storytelling. I saw it with an audience today and people were bored and annoyed by the end, although happy to go back into the real world.

R24 must have seen Saltburn in a theater that caters exclusively to annoying cunts

R24 it steals nothing from Ripley. It has similarities but many differences also.

Ripley was a good movie.

Saltburn is a terrible movie.

I love Emerald. Shes so honest and beautiful!!! She’s right, we’ve all met someone we had borderline obsessive feelings for.

Ripley Revisits Brideshead

FIFY

Does the hot guy fuck the fug guy - this feels like another Heartstopper thread.

Is RP really a dame?

This pretty much sums it up based on other comments I've read. Thank you early reviewers for saving ke a lot of time and money.

^Saving me a lot of time and money

Thank you Wikipedia, for killing any tiny chance that I would ever pay to see this movie.

R30 Of course he doesn't.

Of course he doesn’t because Felix isn’t gay. That’s the whole point. Longing and lusting for someone you can never have, with a last minute eat the rich twist. The longing and lusting and then growing obsessed with that person you want so badly but can’t does happen sometimes. Sadly.

Maybe Jacob is a bottom, but people don't want to hear that because of his size.
