Barry Keoghan and Jacob Elordi star provocatively as Oxford freshmen in a satirical riff on The Talented Mr. Ripley's exploration of British class warfare by way of Brideshead Revisited. It's ultimately a hollow pastiche of a psychosexual thriller without much of any substance. Fennell toys with a seductive queer obsession but quickly trades in the intrigue for cheap thrills in a boring dive into the excess of obscene privilege.
Despite some delicious performances from Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, and Alison Oliver as an insidiously rich family with a palatial estate, the glossy nature of the film's high-class production cannot hide its superficially insubstantial gothic interpretation of eating the rich. It's only so much fun watching stylishly bad people behaving poorly all the time.

Amazon's '80s comedy/horror mashup of Back to the Future meets Friday the 13th unabashedly plays on our familiarity with various film genre tropes. Kiernan Shipka plays a time-travelling teenager who must prevent her mother's murder in the present while also solving another longheld slasher mystery. It's a clever enough watch full knowing references and jokes about the future past.
