Miraculous movie making at its finest

Rating: 10/10 (3 December 2019)

We hadn't gone to the movies much lately, then we saw Midway, which we enjoyed, and then Ford v Ferrari which we enjoyed even more, and now Knives Out which we had heard was even better than the first two. They were right.
It's a joy to be entertained by this ensemble from Daniel Craig, as Benoit Blanc, to Ana de Armas, as Marta, and everyone in between. They make those old Agatha Christie movies seem under-played and not very carefully cast, which is saying a lot. Without digging into this film's origins I very much doubt we'll ever see a sequel with a plot anywhere as good as this one. This movie is richly wrought and overwhelmingly satisfying and the only negative thing I have to say about it is just that, there's almost no chance of a worthy sequel.
