Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic If you’re someone who considers themself a foodie (and I totally am), chances are there was a moment in the last few years when you had The Awakening. It may have been when the waiter was describing the veal marrow with beat foam served with baby lettuces from New Zealand. It may have been when you were eating the red snapper that was cooked halfway through, like a rare steak, and you thought, “I love sushi, I love cooked fish, but I’m not sure this is really the best of both worlds.” It may have been when you saw the bill. Whatever the trigger, that was the moment you looked up from your plate and realized that high-end foodie culture has become a serious annoyance. It’s gotten too fussy, too pricey, too full of itself, too not filling (of yourself), too avant-garde and conceptual, too tied to The Salvation of the Planet, too much of an ordeal. Did I mention too pricey? It used to be that if you wanted to ridicule culinary mania, you mocked someone like Guy Fieri. But he has risen from the ashes of infamy to a kind of born-again respectability (and yes, “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” was always a great show). Now, if you want to ridicule culinary mania, the most natural targets are restaurants like The French Laundry in Napa Valley or Bros’ in Southern Italy, places where the 12-course “tasting menu” can inspire you to think, as one blogger put it, that “there was nothing even close to an actual meal served.”
Anya Taylor-Joy shows off her pins in tiny denim shorts in Sydney

Sydney’s harbour, while Anya enjoyed a break from filming the Mad Max prequel, Furiosa. The smitten pair made their red-carpet debut in February, but set tongues wagging in June following unconfirmed reports they had tied the knot. The Peaky Blinders actress has also been seen in recent months wearing emerald and diamond sparkling gems on her ring finger.
It is unlikely this latest excursion is a belated honeymoon, however, as the couple were joined by Kane Ritchotte, who is in the band More* alongside guitarist Malcolm, 27. An onlooker said they ‘seemed very happy and relaxed’. British-American Anya, scouted as a teenager by the Storm modelling agency while walking her dog, showed off her long legs in high-cut denim shorts and chunky boots as she walked around Sydney’s historic lanes.
It has been a whirlwind few years for the star, who rose to prominence in the 2020 adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma. She won a Golden Globe for her role as orphaned chess prodigy Beth Harmon in The Queen’s Gambit, and was on the big screen in April for the historical epic The Northman. Anya has been in Australia since May filming the titular role for Furiosa, which also stars Chris Hemsworth.
