A grandmother went viral for a TikTok video in which she repeatedly dropped F-bombs after being repulsed by many of the explicit scenes from the movie Saltburn.
Saltburn is an erotic thriller film written, directed, and co-produced by Emerald Fennell, starring Australian heartthrob Jacob Elordi and Oscar-nominated Irish actor Barry Keoghan.
In the 2023 film, Felix Catton and Oliver Quick, played by Elordi and Keoghan respectively, are students at the University of Oxford whose lives become dangerously intertwined when a dangerous obsession and a series of calculated schemes lead to fatal consequences.
It's worth mentioning there is nothing wholesome about the critically acclaimed movie, and it has people talking about the award-worthy performances and disturbing scenes.
Examples of the provocative visuals that shocked moviegoers include the desecration of a fresh-dug grave and the lusty enjoyment of a bathwater "cocktail" infused with, umm, fresh DNA swimmers.
The movie's tagline is, "We're all about to lose our minds," and they weren't kidding.
TikToker @beauthebeard subjected his Nan to viewing this very racy movie and we don't blame her for her reactions.
But it's hard not to laugh watching her watching what she called, "F'king filth!"
Warning: NSFW language.
In the clip, the TikToker and his exasperated Nan were both seated in recliners at home streaming Saltburn. She was not a fan.
The clip captured the elderly critic being completely appalled, angered, repulsed, and dropping the F-bomb 29 times in the course of two-and-a-half minutes.
"What's he doing?" asked the TikToker about one of the characters, to which Nan replied:
"You know what he's doing without me telling ya."
When he continued provoking her about what was happening, she exclaimed:
"Look for your f'king self, you probably already watched it umpteen times."
Nan repeatedly complained about many of the scenes, ordered the TikToker to turn the movie off, and threatened to walk away as she stayed seated throughout most of the forced screening.
The TikToker could be heard silently giggling while his Nan had a conniption.

Saltburn became the most-streamed film after it was released on Amazon Prime Video.
Many loose comparisons have been made to the 1999 homoerotic psychological thriller The Talented Mr. Ripley, based on Patricia Highsmith's 1955 novel.
The title character played by Matt Damon in the film adaptation is a Jack-of-all-trades type who sees himself as "a nobody" and becomes obsessed with the object of his affection, the affluent and vainglorious Dickie Greenleaf, played by Jude Law.
Ripley eventually takes on Greenleaf's identity through violence and finds himself involved in a cat-and-mouse game with the Italian police.
While the premise and themes of social class and obsession are familiar, Saltburn unapologetically pushes the envelope even further with its graphic erotic scenes.
Anyone fancy some protein bathwater?
Saltburn may be intended for mature audiences, but it certainly wasn't Nan's cup of tea.
