Okay, so I’ve been seeing this movie “Saltburn” all over my social media feeds lately, and I got curious. Everyone’s talking about Felix and Oliver, and whether they’re, you know, gay. So, I decided to do a deep dive and figure it out for myself. First, I watched the movie. I know, groundbreaking stuff, right? I sat down with a big bowl of popcorn on a Friday night and just hit play.

And let me tell you, the movie is… a lot. But the whole Felix and Oliver dynamic really got me thinking. I mean, from the start, Oliver is super into Felix, like way more than just friends. He’s always watching him, trying to be near him. It’s intense.
Then, I started digging online. I read a bunch of articles and interviews, and even scrolled through some fan forums, which, let me warn you, can be a wild ride. People have some strong opinions! Anyway, it seems like everyone has a different take. Some folks are convinced it’s a straight-up love story, others say it’s just a really messed up friendship. Even the director, Emerald Fennell, stayed kind of vague about the whole thing.
What I found is that the main actor, Jacob Elordi, even said that Felix really loved Oliver. So that really made me think that they must be a couple right? But the movie makes it clear they never kissed or anything. So I was left confused.
My Thoughts
- Oliver is definitely obsessed with Felix. Like, really obsessed.
- Felix might have had some feelings for Oliver, but it’s not super clear.
- They never actually get together in the movie, no kissing, nothing.
- It’s more about obsession and power than a regular romance.
After all that, I’m still not 100% sure what to think. I guess it’s up to each person to decide. But it’s definitely a movie that makes you think, and the relationship between Felix and Oliver is a big part of that. It’s complicated, messy, and definitely not your typical love story. If you’ve seen it, I’d love to hear what you think. Let’s discuss!
