Carey Mulligan’s brief but unforgettable performance as Elspeth’s clingy friend Pamela gave Saltburn one of its most compelling characters, but her fate is left somewhat ambiguous. Set in early-‘00s England, Saltburn stars Barry Keoghan as middle-class Oxford student Oliver Quick, who becomes infatuated with a rich kid named Felix Catton, played by Jacob Elordi. Over the summer break, Oliver goes to stay with Felix’s absurdly wealthy family at their massive estate – the titular Saltburn – and learns some harsh truths about the one percent. During his stay, Oliver meets a handful of colorful characters in this eccentric family’s orbit – and that includes Pamela.
