The Admirable Chrichton, but without the charm

And not ship wrecked on a tropical island, but stranded on a city island in an ocean of the Spanish flu. Instead of a steadfastly loyal, upstanding butler, we have a roguish, scheming cook, wheedling his way into an upper class family. Of course the comparisons only go so far, Coup is a far darker more sinister affair than the 1957 classic comedy. The social commentary presented here is apparent from the start, there is little in the way of a gentle progression as circumstances worsen.The master to servant relationship on which the plot is hung is effective enough, but both characters have such unlikeable traits, that it may be hard to whole heartedly root for either in this war of the classes.It's entertaining enough, but the 98 minutes runtime seemed to drag at times, the ending was well done, and satisfying, depending on your social justice standpoint I guess?

a new resonance

It is 1918 and the world is at war. Floyd Monk (Peter Sarsgaard) is a wannabe revolutionary who complains that the Spanish Flu is killing more people than the war. He argues for a full shutdown which can be seen as treasonous. He becomes a chef in a large estate on an island. The owner Jay Horton (Billy Magnussen) and his wife Julie (Sarah Gadon) have two young children. Jay insists on not killing anything and being vegetarian. Floyd keeps stirring up conflicts as he hides from the authorities.Sarsgaard is great and playful. This story has a new resonance after COVID. The black humor doesn't always work. The story is a little rambling and a bit disconnected. I would like the servants to be more specific. The wife needs an extra scene or two. This is interesting although it does need something more.
