It also reunites Fennell with Carey Mulligan who starred in the multi-award-winning Promising Young Women, Fennell’s directing debut. The buzz right now is comparing Saltburn with Anthony Minghella’s The Talented Mr. Ripley. but we are reserving our judgment until we get to see the film on the Opening Night of the BFI London Film Festival.
