Mr Ripley meets Brideshead in this black comedy, an outlandish dissection of the British upper classes.
Titillating takedown

SALTBURN Directed by Emerald Fennell

With just two self-penned films under her belt, British actor-writer-director W Emerald Fennell is proving she's a force to be reckoned with. The 38-year-old won the original screenplay Oscar - and was nominated for best picture and director - for her shocking and exhilarating feature debut Promising Young Woman. 

In that #MeToo revenge thriller, Carey Mulligan "educated" young men who took sexual advantage of drunk women. It was a helluva calling card for Fennell but if you complained its messaging was less than subtle, your eyes will be out on stalks with her sophomore effort.
