Quick Answer: Stream the film on Amazon Prime Video with a 30-day free trial.
Since its premiere earlier in November, filmmaker Emerald Fennell‘s follow-up to her Academy Award-winning debut film Promising Young Women has been dominating the conversation online — a jaw-dropping, star-studded flick titled Saltburn. If you missed it in theaters (or just want to rewatch every moment, from the shocking ending to that full-frontal nude scene), the good news is you can finally watch it at home on Prime Video.
Like a twisted Great Gatsby, the movie follows Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan), a student who just started his first year at Oxford becomes, who becomes befriends (and becomes obsessed with) with his wealthy peer, Felix Catton (Jacob Elordi of Euphoria and Priscilla fame). When Felix learns of Oliver’s tragic past, he invites Oliver to stay at his family’s luxurious seaside estate in Saltburn, England over the summer. As Oliver immerses himself in their aristocratic world, what follows is a series of horrifying events, twists, and betrayals that will change their lives forever.

As Amazon puts it in Saltburn‘s character synopses, “watchful, clever, and obsessed, Oliver, is an outsider, who finally finds himself on the ‘inside.’ Once he enters Saltburn, Oliver becomes a quick study in the rules, the people, and the chances to make good on this once-in-a lifetime experience, as he gets to know each of Saltburn’s eccentric and decadent residents. Felix is the ultimate golden boy: gorgeous, charismatic, gliding through the world with the liquid ease of someone born atop the social hierarchy. Felix is clearly the gleaming center of everyone’s universe. He doesn’t mean to be – it’s just always been that way.”
Saltburn: Rating, Runtime, Cast, Reviews
Directed by Emerald Fennell, Saltburn is rated R and has a runtime of 2 hours and 11 minutes. Along with Keoghan and Elordi, the film also stars Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, Alison Oliver, Archie Madekwe, and Carey Mulligan, among others.
“Fennell clearly has a sharp sense of how satire works, and while class warfare does not bring out the righteousness and rage of the #MeToo movement that fueled Promising Young Woman,” David Fear writes in the Rolling Stone review. “It feels like a meatier subject for her slice into with swifter, more wounding parries…what follows is a variation on the slow, steady takeover scenario that’s worked wonders for Tom Ripley, Terence Stamp in Teorema, and dozens of other onscreen strivers systematically fucking their way to the top of the socioeconomic heap. Characters who you think Oliver will seduce and destroy do indeed get seduced and destroyed; a graveside vigil goes on long enough to take exactly the predictably startling turn you think it will, yet hope it won’t.”
Is Saltburn Based on a Book?
While Saltburn isn’t a direct film adaptation of any existing book, Fennell has previously stated that she was inspired by the 1945 Evelyn Waugh novel, “Brideshed Revisited“. The book tells the story of Charles Ryder and his entanglement with the Flytes, a large, wealthy family, as he charts the passing of the privileged world he knew in his own youth, and vividly recalls “the sensuous pleasures denied him by wartime austerities”.
“Brideshed Revisited” is available on Amazon right now as a paperback, for Kindle, or as an audiobook. You can also listen to the audiobook (narrated by actor Jeremy Irons) for free with a 30-day free trial to Audible. After your free trial is over, you can continue with your Audible subscription for just $14.95 a month.
