‘Saltburn’ Crashes at Telluride …

September 1, 2023 Jordan Ruimy

Here another movie from the fall fests that has underperformed with critics.

Emerald Fennell’s “Saltburn” has screened at Telluride where it’s proven to be very divisive. A 57 percent on Rotten Tomatoes isn’t good. I guess the New York Film Festival had rejected it for a reason.

Much of the criticisms seem to be about how "it's been done before," and that it's not as iconoclastic as “Promising Young Woman”. There are a lot of comparisons to “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” with some saying that Fennell outright rips it off.

You do also have a lot of non-critics raving about “Saltburn” on Twitter, which might signify a potential incoming audience-critic disconnect. Regardless, these are not the kinds of reactions that Amazon was hoping for.
