Look, The Menu is a well-crafted film—critics loved it (88% on Rotten Tomatoes), it's clever, it's visually stunning, and it has something to say about class and consumption. Ralph Fiennes is magnetic as the unhinged chef.

But let's be crystal clear: this is NOT a movie to watch with your kids, your teens, or anywhere near family movie night. It's graphic, disturbing psychological horror dressed up as a foodie film. People die violently and frequently. The tone is dark and nihilistic. There's no feel-good takeaway.

For adults who love smart, twisted thrillers with social commentary? It's a solid pick. For anyone under 17? Hard pass. Even for mature 17-year-olds, you need to know they can handle intense violence and disturbing themes. This scores low on WISE not because it's a bad film—it's actually quite good at what it does—but because what it does is create deeply unsafe, unwholesome content that's meant to unsettle you.
