In 18th-century England, Savage House follows Sir Chauncey Savage (Richard E. Grant), a gloriously unscrupulous social climber propped up by debt and bravado. When invited to host the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Chauncey and his razor-sharp wife, Lady Savage (Claire Foy), launch a bid to impress. As preparations spiral into duels, decadence and bloodshed, their performance careens out of control--a darkly comic satire of class, spectacle, and the art of appearing important.

The stars could hardly have done a better job – Grant especially, in a rare leading role as a powdered, poisonous social climber plummeting into ruin. It’s the whole edifice that’s sadly rotten, and the film is a stifling ordeal. Go to Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) 4h
I think I enjoyed most about it was how much I thought Richard E. Grant and Claire Foy were having a ball. Go to Full Review Danny Leigh Financial Times 1d
3/5
The vigour with which the movie assails the traditional cream-tea period piece is impressive, if repetitive. Oddly literal too. Go to Full Review Dulcie Pearce The Sun (UK) 1d
4/5
Directed by Peter Glanz, this very dark comedy has echoes of 2019’s The Favourite, with plenty of spectacle and satire. Go to Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman 1d
...[Savage House] delivers a fairly obvious barbarians-at-the-gate satire, one that builds to a frustratingly mundane non-ending. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
