Delicious

I was in the mood for horror and at first, wasn't sure where this was going. I expected the usual variation on a theme of a typical slasher film with jump scares and a soundtrack building up to what was going to happen; but then I remembered this wasn't a Hollywood-made movie. I settled in and enjoyed the slower pace and gradual unveiling of the horror. European films tend to reveal terror more subtly, rather than relying on shock tactics of U. S. films I grown to be accustomed to. I appreciated the slow day-to-day feel and building of tension through their daily interactions, secrets, and lies. While the socio-political message was clear, the current real-world political climate makes fiction feel less frightening. This movie was just the right mix of horror to satisfy my craving.

Side note: On a few levels, this film reminded me of the 1983 UK/US co-production film "The Hunger" (David Bowie, Susan Sarandon, Catherine Deneuve).

Acting is OK but the story is so so bad. Throughout the movie I've counted grand total of 0 actions that made any sense. Family members turning against each other for lamest reasons, not a single person in the whole town realizing what's going on etc. It's like Salt Burn all over again...

The movie is thinking that it's some kind of a master piece when it's really a collection of unrelated and uncreative lines. It keeps on trying to wow you with some kind of revelation while you already know what's gonna happen beforehand. It's super predictable. I've guessed the whole movie except for maybe 1 plot.

Very bad. It is a stupid version of Parasites, but made by braindead people trying to be smart. Chatgpt would have done better. Please read others people reviews and skip that. Ridiculus, just small example: You hit someone, and instead of taking them to hospital you take it home ( you can be a good person, but take in a totally stranger when you have kids...) from there it just goes more and more stupid. Oh...i need to write 600 words...a waste of time...mmm it tries to give msg of eat the rich (rich are just rich but stupid so we can outsmart them)...i get it...im poor too...but i don't think that all rich people are so stupid...the only stupids are the one watching the film...me included.

I have no idea what Netflix was thinking with Delicious. If you enjoy beautiful shots of Provence, great-you'll get some nice scenery. But if you actually care about storytelling, logic, or a satisfying ending? Good luck.

This movie is a mess. It tries so hard to be artsy and provocative, but all it does is serve up a pile of nonsense disguised as highbrow cinema. The so-called "twist" is laughable, the pacing is a disaster, and the entire plot feels like it was written by someone who just wanted to shock the audience for the sake of it.

And let's talk about that ending-who approved this? It's rushed, borderline absurd, and completely destroys any sense of payoff. Not to mention, the characters act like they've never heard of logic. Did no one question the script? Were they just hoping we'd be too distracted to notice?

Honestly, Delicious is a fitting title-if you have a taste for disappointment.

You can tell where this movie is headed within the first 15 minutes. From there, it drags itself to the grand "reveal" like a wounded animal, testing your patience at every turn. By the time it finally gets there, you're practically begging for mercy-just wrap up this mess already. The cinematography is good (1 star is for cinematography only) and the actors do their job, but none of that can salvage a story that feels uninspired and, frankly, not worth the time. It's a frustrating, drawn-out exercise in patience.

Worse, the film seems to think it's clever, mistaking unnecessary complexity for depth. It drags you along, teasing some grand revelation that never quite delivers and by the time it does, you just don't care anymore.
