Family Christmas Movie in Saltburn Sparks Woman's Apology
A woman faces unexpected consequences when she decides to watch the popular film Saltburn with her family for Christmas, leading to being told to go for a walk
The film Saltburn was chosen by a Twitter/X user for her family's Christmas movie gathering, but it didn't quite go as expected. Christmas is synonymous with heartwarming family movies that convey powerful messages, bringing warmth and joy to viewers. Classics like Miracle on 34th Street and It's a Wonderful Life have been uniting families for years.
Holiday films often convey important lessons about family, gratitude, friendship, and love and have a tendency to evoke emotional responses. Whether it's heartwarming classics like The Muppet Christmas Carol or the humorous Elf, these movies are enjoyable for the whole family.
However, one Twitter/X user made a bold choice for their family's Christmas Eve viewing by selecting the controversial and R-rated Saltburn, featuring graphic nudity, drug use, and disturbing violent content. This is not typically considered a family-friendly option.

Woman “told to go for a walk” after showing family Saltburn
A woman on Twitter shared her experience after watching Saltburn with her family. In her initial tweet, she wrote, "Movie day with the fam & my choice is Saltburn xo." In a follow-up post, she mentioned, "It has been turned off & I've been told to go for a walk."
She attached a screenshot of a text from Ma which reads: “When you come back I want you to apologise to everyone you dickhead.”
She then shared that “it was the bath scene that did it.”

The original poster mentioned having a large family spanning various ages, including young children, which raises concerns about the explicit content in the bath scene and graphic nudity and violence throughout the film. Actor Barry Keoghan defended the nude scenes, sparking debates about ownership and confidence. He stated, “I can do what I want in this manor. I can strip to my barest and waltz around because this is mine.”
Saltburn is now streaming on Prime.

Editor's P/S
As a passionate movie enthusiast, I find this incident both amusing and thought-provoking. While I appreciate the woman's intention to introduce her family to a critically acclaimed film, it's evident that she overlooked the fact that Saltburn is not suitable for all audiences, especially during a family gathering on Christmas Eve. The movie's graphic content, including nudity, drug use, and violence, is not appropriate for young children or sensitive viewers.
It's important to consider the context and audience when selecting a movie for a family viewing. Christmas is a time for togetherness, joy, and wholesome entertainment. While Saltburn may be an artistic and provocative piece of cinema, it's not the ideal choice for a family movie night. The woman's family's reaction, though perhaps a bit extreme, is understandable given the circumstances.
