I always assumed that the dorm room scene with Oliver trying to clean up was his way of testing how Felix would react to him trying to take control of him. It doesn't go well so he switches focus to the family, getting close to them in hopes of controlling Felix. I think it's definitely purposeful that Felix never bends to Oliver and I agree with Benji that there does seem to be a shift in planning once he sees his ability to manipulate the others. Felix is no longer necessary. I also think there's some truth in Duncan's line that "lots of people get lost in Saltburn" when he says it to Oliver. Part of him changes with the location.

I think Oliver lying about his father's death is actually projected pretty well, to the point where I've seen a couple reactors pick up on it on a first watch. The main hint is that it happens immediately afer Felix gets mad at him and doesn't invite him out to the pub, clearly losing interest. Put that together with the fact that we've already seen Felix being nosy about Oliver's family life and showing a lot of interest in his 'tragic backstory', I was immediately suspicious about the timing when he went to him crying about his dead dad right when Felix was starting to push him away. Also, Oliver doesn't poison Felix's drink until after Felix rejects him. And although they don't make it clear, I think he probably just dumped a bunch of cocaine into it-- that explains why the death isn't considered suspicious (just an OD at a wild party with rampant drug use) and why Farleigh could potentially be blamed for it.

No I definitely understand WHY and WHEN Oliver lied about his father's death, but I'm frustrated with the filmmaker essentially lying to us (the audience) by including a scene where his mom calls but NOT later revealing how/why that call might have connected to Oliver's lie. Obviously I'm not stupid and could "assume" Oliver got a call from his mom and then later decided to lie about his parents BUT, since the film doesn't show us that (after painstakingly showing us every other twisty reveal) then I'm led to assume that the filmmaker showed us those two scenes together to "trick us." Without motivation, that phone call from his mom has nothing to do with the plot (which wouldn't be a problem if this wasn't the SAME MOVIE that did a "reveal" on Oliver typing gobbledy gook lol) Hope that ramble makes sense
