The entire cast, Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi as Felix Catton, Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, Archie Madekwe, Carey Mulligan, Paul Rhys, Ewan Mitchell l, Lolly Adefope, Sadie Soverall, Millie Kent, even the smallest roles, was uniformly brilliant. And the direction by Emerald Fennell with sumptuous, gorgeous, deep, emotional, shocking at times & an absolute master class on class. Great script, great costumes, great cinematography. The pacing, the tone, the sly humor, the gorgeous standing next to the grotesque. The casual cruelty of the rich and the brilliant manipulation by a member of the middle class out maneuvering all these rich entitled aristobrats. Loved it.
