Apparently the song Rent is featured in the movie?

Yes it is.It is used as a minor part of the story/plot rather than just being played as part of the soundtrack.
I obviously won’t say how as don’t want to spoil it for anyone.
I thought it was a very good film…some strange scenes in it though!!!

Seems like a really weird flick. And Rent is apparently performed in the film.

Jarvis gets a shout-out too.

From the director of Promising Young Woman which is one of the best movies I've seen in the past years. I am very interested in this one.

This movie is strange and brilliant. I highly recommend it. I’d say that the inclusion of Rent is quite a good plot point.
My friend and I laughed a lot in this movie, probably in places where we weren’t supposed to

Did anyone else notice that the Rent lyrics during the karaoke scene were actually:

You took me to a restaurant off Broadway
To show me who you are

Rather than the official 'to tell me who you are'?

Have I imagined it or are the 'show me who you are lyrics' what Neil originally wrote and then it was changed before it was recorded?

If I haven't totally invented that it would suggest the boys had some input, or whoever used it in the film is a bit of a fan?!"?

Rumor has it “I wouldn’t normally do this kind of thing” was also considered to be used for the ending scene for the movie..

I see Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Murder On The Dancefloor is benefiting massively from its exposure via Saltburn.

Can we talk about a Saltburn effect?

Spotify has Rent 7” as PSB’s 9th most popular song, currently.

Thrilled for her, she’s fabulous!! And a whole new audience is experiencing her excellent music!!

That film is so desperate to be liked and talked about, lol. Just a bit obvious and sickly, really.

It's an excellent use of Rent in a very well made, yet nasty film. It's driven by a psychopathic envy and a dark nihilism that is deeply sick.
