User reviews

You can tell where this movie is headed within the first 15 minutes. From there, it drags itself to the grand "reveal" like a wounded animal, testing your patience at every turn. By the time it finally gets there, you're practically begging for mercy-just wrap up this mess already. The cinematography is good (1 star is for cinematography only) and the actors do their job, but none of that can salvage a story that feels uninspired and, frankly, not worth the time. It's a frustrating, drawn-out exercise in patience.

Worse, the film seems to think it's clever, mistaking unnecessary complexity for depth. It drags you along, teasing some grand revelation that never quite delivers and by the time it does, you just don't care anymore.

Very bad. It is a stupid version of Parasites, but made by braindead people trying to be smart. Chatgpt would have done better. Please read others people reviews and skip that. Ridiculus, just small example: You hit someone, and instead of taking them to hospital you take it home ( you can be a good person, but take in a totally stranger when you have kids...) from there it just goes more and more stupid. Oh...i need to write 600 words...a waste of time...mmm it tries to give msg of eat the rich (rich are just rich but stupid so we can outsmart them)...i get it...im poor too...but i don't think that all rich people are so stupid...the only stupids are the one watching the film...me included.

A film that shows that Netflix has sunk deeper and deeper into the pit. There is nothing appealing or logical about the film. It has such a ridiculous and artificial network of relationships that if you get to the end of the film, it becomes clear that it is a waste of time.

A wealthy family living in Germany comes to their home in France for a vacation. One night, they think they hit someone with their car. When they get out of the car, they see a girl with a bleeding arm. They take her home and bandage her arm. Then the girl turns the lives of all the family members upside down.

When you write the subject, it may seem appealing. But the film is so ridiculous and boring. An ugly girl seduces them all for some reason. Plus, most of the family trusts the girl more than their own daughters. Plus, all the family members are easily prone to straying. The family, which acts so elite, becomes a toy in the hands of a group of scoundrels, etc. Etc.

I was in the mood for horror and at first, wasn't sure where this was going. I expected the usual variation on a theme of a typical slasher film with jump scares and a soundtrack building up to what was going to happen; but then I remembered this wasn't a Hollywood-made movie. I settled in and enjoyed the slower pace and gradual unveiling of the horror. European films tend to reveal terror more subtly, rather than relying on shock tactics of U. S. films I grown to be accustomed to. I appreciated the slow day-to-day feel and building of tension through their daily interactions, secrets, and lies. While the socio-political message was clear, the current real-world political climate makes fiction feel less frightening. This movie was just the right mix of horror to satisfy my craving.

Side note: On a few levels, this film reminded me of the 1983 UK/US co-production film "The Hunger" (David Bowie, Susan Sarandon, Catherine Deneuve).

I regret for watching this movie, there is no really a story behind, I don't know how they end with such movie , please don't waste ur time it's totally useless, I regret to watch it , nothing to talk about from the beginning with end , a little girl that leave that place , the son who eat the meat of his father and figure out his ring in his mouth, and we didn't even see the reaction of the boy about that , trying to manipulate the Family psychology but it is not , the father who write an article that was fake and what , not big deal with that to lose his mind and don't have motivation to continue in his work !!! 😞

If you like open endings, characters you don't know if you should hate or like, and sudden twists, you might like this film. Although the theme is not new and from the beginning on you can see where this is leading to, I found it enjoyable because there is a certain tension that makes you understand both parties although they are very opposed, and just enough unease/itch to make you want to continue observing these people. At the end there's a sudden shift in genre that makes it all a little metaphorical and even more intriguing. Not concluding it's a masterpiece but certainly a whole lot less forgettable than most things on Netflix. I keep a list with all the titles of things I've watched on Netflix and often after a week I can't remember what a title was about anymore. With this film that's unlikely to happen (not because it's so horrible as some people have written here, but because it made me reflect)

I don't understand the one-star reviews. "Delicious" is not Oscar worthy, but it is not a bad film. My guess is that some people have a problem with it for their own personal reasons. The film demonstrates some complexities surrounding class and inequality. The family becomes a target because they are more well off financially than a group of service workers. Carla Diaz's character becomes the family's maid after she fakes getting hit by their car. She becomes close with the family members, inspiring their trust, with ulterior motives. The ending is surprising. Someone mentioned that she is average looking...how could she seduce everyone? None of the family members are devastatingly attractive either. They are all rather average. Again, I don't know why it has been rated so poorly. The reviewers probably live in gated communities and don't like the message of the movie.

I have no idea what Netflix was thinking with Delicious. If you enjoy beautiful shots of Provence, great-you'll get some nice scenery. But if you actually care about storytelling, logic, or a satisfying ending? Good luck.

This movie is a mess. It tries so hard to be artsy and provocative, but all it does is serve up a pile of nonsense disguised as highbrow cinema. The so-called "twist" is laughable, the pacing is a disaster, and the entire plot feels like it was written by someone who just wanted to shock the audience for the sake of it.

And let's talk about that ending-who approved this? It's rushed, borderline absurd, and completely destroys any sense of payoff. Not to mention, the characters act like they've never heard of logic. Did no one question the script? Were they just hoping we'd be too distracted to notice?

Honestly, Delicious is a fitting title-if you have a taste for disappointment.

We did not read anything on this one - I'd actually prefer spoiler. When you are ready for Zombiland type of movies, or horror movies, then its ok. But this one was kinda promising - great work of camera man, not a bad casting and acting was quite good, but then when you realize already close to the end of the sick idea of the scenarist and its just disgusting. Its killing whole thriller approach of the movie by disappointing viewers with a primitive whole idea of the movie. I wish I could skip watching this one, but unfortunately i cant forget this anymore.

Netflix seems doing a survey of the most bloody and disgusting storylines for their movies. Really thinking to unsubscribe from them...

Acting is OK but the story is so so bad. Throughout the movie I've counted grand total of 0 actions that made any sense. Family members turning against each other for lamest reasons, not a single person in the whole town realizing what's going on etc. It's like Salt Burn all over again...

The movie is thinking that it's some kind of a master piece when it's really a collection of unrelated and uncreative lines. It keeps on trying to wow you with some kind of revelation while you already know what's gonna happen beforehand. It's super predictable. I've guessed the whole movie except for maybe 1 plot.

The Substance, Blink Twice, and Delicious all serve as metaphors for various social, psychological, and generational challenges. I loved watching this movie and recognized many behavioral patterns of Gen Z that can be quite unsettling and disruptive for Generation X. For me, the message was clear, but the filmmakers even chose to spell it out explicitly during the dinner scene with friends and again at the birthday party - the younger generations are eating up what the older ones established. I could resonate with the "panic" the filmmakers wished to portray. I also loved the actors , the cinematography, and the tension they created. For me it was a fine piece.

Delicious was intriguing from the begining. This well off german family of john, esther, alba and I think erik are staying in their holiday home. They go to a french resturant where the waiters were previously in the bedroom watching. This scene should have been cut as it already gives some things away. One girl theodora fakes getting hit by johns car but instead of being good and take him to hospital they take her home to where their kids are and ester gives her money to bassically say get lost. We can tell whats going to happen in this film but I did like they payoff as it was something not entirely obvious. Characters were written dumb but acted ok. I liked the story but the suspense could have been there more.

As "Delicious" (2025 release from Germany; 102 min) opens, we get to know a family from Frankfurt. The husband and wife and their 2 kids arrive in the south of France, After a nice dinner out and with the husband possibly drunk, on their way home their car hits a young woman... At this point we are 10 minutes into the movie.

Couple of comments: the premise of this movie is as familiar as it is appealing: well-to-do family takes in a wounded young woman and it's no long before we sense that not all is quite what it seems. The movie is plot-heavy so I won't go into further details. The movie reminds me of "Parasite" and "The White Lotus", except that "Delicious" provides a long (and at time great) leadup, only to badly misfire in its concluding half hour, leading to a massive letdown. Austrian actress Valerie Pachner ("The King's Man") plays the lead as Esther, the couple's wife, and does the best she can under the circumstances. I can't say that I was familiar with any of the other performers. The original score of this movie is courtesy of Oscar-winning composer Volker Bertelmann (a/k/a Hauschka), and is excellent and prominent in the movie.

"Delicious" premiered at last month's Berlin film festival, and it recently started streaming on Netflix. Netflix suggested it to me based on my viewing habits which includes lots of foreign films and TV series. If you are in the mood for a family drama out of Germany, I'd readily suggest you check this out, and draw your own conclusion.

It is a total waste of time watching this movie! You can't understand what is happening without a narrative, just pure talking, actions, or a thriller. We had to fast-forward it, even if it was already the last 20 minutes, and we had to stop and quit the movie because it was dragging! This movie sucks the life out of you. You don't know if it is vampire, thief as in you wont understand. There are few scenes which are interesting but just few that you will count, the acting is also terrible. This movie just plain sucks and dragging. And this review is also dragging cuz you have to type 600 words????

I have never been this mad after watching a movie.

Terrible story, so terrible you might bang your head to your TV at the end.

A mash up of Fresh and Parasite, with a no ending, terrible dialogues, meaningless monologues, incredibly bad special effects, a shallow non-ending ending.

The director, if he can be called a director, has stolen some existing ideas, mashed them up, produced a terrible version of his own, and couldn't even finish the story it was so bad, so he just leaves it to you to imagine more terrible events that could happen.

Actings feels like they're eaten loads of ice, not engaging, cheap cheatings, etc.
