Big social dinners have a tendency to always dive into awkwardness, especially when you don't know the people involved. Luckily, the presence of free food (one of the best things to ever exist on planet Earth) can help make any sort of dinnertime awkwardness more bearable but sometimes ya get caught up in conversations or social interactions so thorny to navigate even free food can't mitigate the suffocating amount of awkwardness. That's the kind of social situation the titular lead character of Beatriz At Dinner finds herself in, one which leads to plenty of drama for herself and the other members of the dinner she finds herself attending but, on the bright side, it does result in loads of riveting drama for the viewer.
