In “Saltburn,” Emerald Fennell, known for her Oscar-winning “Promising Young Woman,” crafts another audacious narrative. This modern take on “The Talented Mr. Ripley” immerses viewers in the complexities of human behavior within privileged circles. Fennell’s direction and writing, complemented by lush production values, create a wickedly mean and surreal atmosphere. Barry Keoghan’s unsettling portrayal of Oliver Quick infiltrating Jacob Elordi’s aristocratic realm adds layers of tension. While the film successfully entertains and provokes, Fennell’s tendency to overexplain during the denouement slightly diminishes the narrative’s impact, deviating from the tantalizing ambiguity seen in her earlier work.
