It’s ’s world. We are just living in it. Her latest film, The Gorge, recently became Apple TV+’s biggest launch. The streaming giant doesn’t normally disclose specific numbers, but exceptions tend to be made for Number 1, which was the case with the new flick. A recent report by Deadline reveals that the film has driven double-digit growth globally for the streaming service and boosted new viewership figures by over 80% since its debut on Friday, February 14. Impressive!

Taylor-Joy has been on a roll in the 2020s, wowing fans with her performances in Peaky Blinders, The Northman, Amsterdam, Super Mario Bros. Movie, and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. She also did excellent work on The Menu, a movie that continues to soar, two years after its release. In February, the black comedy horror hit Netflix’s Top 10 chart in U.S., proving that quality never goes out of fashion. However, Taylor-Joy — who was nominated for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy at the Golden Globes for her performance — almost missed out on the role to a more experienced Hollywood star.

The Menumakes you hate what you are currently eating and wish for superior bites. But don’t worry. No one has a pleasant dining experience in the movie. We first see Foodie Tyler Ledford and his date, Margot Mills (Taylor-Joy), traveling by boat to Hawthorne, an exclusive private island restaurant. The host is the celebrity chef, Julian Slowik (Ralph Fienness), whose professional success appears to have compensated for a less satisfying personal life.
