How did Saltburn become the most talked-about film of awards season?. Emerald Fennell is a very interesting writer/ director. "Promising Young Woman" was edgy and visually stunning. Saltburn is...definitely not something I want to watch again. The most interesting thing about it is the zeitgeist it seems to have caught. I still cant decide whether it was a waste of time or worthwhile to watch. Imagine a structure where everything happens in the reveal in the last 10 minutes or so.
