Starts a little weak. Ends strong!

Rating: 9/10 (28 December 2019)

If you find the beginning of the film a bit preposterous or even a little boring, please hang in there...it gets better! That was my reaction to the beginning of the film. It was nowhere near as funny as I'd hoped it would be (though it does have its lighter moments...Toni Collette's character is pretty amusing). While suspenseful and twisty, I felt that it was a fairly standard "Agatha Christie" type mystery. But the ending actually packed a wallop for me as all the threads come together and I realized that, beneath the neat mystery packaging, the movie was trying to say some important things about hypocrisy and kindness. Thumbs up!
