Saltburn cast: Full list of stars in Barry Keoghan film
The film boasts a stacked cast including Barry Keoghan and Jacob Elordi.
Emerald Fennell's Saltburn has been dividing critics and viewers alike since its release in cinemas at the end of last year.
And now the movie has landed on Prime Video, drawing in a brand new audience and continuing to spark a lively debate among viewers over whether the film is a brilliant work of art or hollow class satire without substance.
Another talking point around Saltburn has been the film's brilliant cast, with Barry Keoghan (The Banshees of Inisherin) leading the way as Oxford student Oliver Quick, while Jacob Elordi appears as his aristocratic classmate, Felix Catton.
Keoghan and Elordi aren't the only big names in Saltburn, with Rosamund Pike, Archie Madekwe and Alison Oliver also starring in supporting roles.
Pike recently admitted she was shocked by Saltburn upon first viewing.
“I couldn’t really watch myself at all. I hated how I found it uncomfortable the way Elspeth was”, she told Deadline.
“I don’t know quite what it was, I was made to feel quite uncomfortable. I think the camera is so personal, the lens is so close and you really see everything. And our editor was very, very fine and detailed," she continued.
