What You Wish For Ratings & Reviews
- parcolanJuly 14, 2025Very good and very intriguing 😉
- Desmond DaleJanuary 24, 2025It shares some of the same DNA as The Menu, but with an even greater focus on being a classist takedown of the morally bereft bourgeoisie elite. The acting is a bit spottier in places but the sharp writing and steady pacing keep the film afloat. It's dark and funny with a sardonic wit that lends the whole thing a poetic beat.
- c33nf0May 5, 2025Went in blind and was pleasantly surprised, I really enjoyed it !! Best smaller film I’ve seen in a while
- Scott ThomasApril 12, 2025I was never once terrified, nor even just scared. However I was completely entertained
- ropermMarch 12, 2025As good as, and in some ways better than, The Menu.
