Simply Wonderful!!

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2019)

Bringing a Cluedo (Clue) game to the big screen and to a modern audience in 2019 may have seemed somewhat of a gamble for director Rian Johnson. With the (welcome) influx of superhero movies, big budget visual effects, snappy editing and dumbed down scripts - a film such such as Knives Out, presented in a cinematic style that reminds me of similar classics from yesteryear, just may have been too smart for a millennial audience...
And whether they got it or not, the film has certainly proven to be one of this years finest and best Hollywood productions which I just loved!
Honestly, I went in not expecting much - but those expectations quickly faded within the first ten minutes as I was sucked in to this hilarious murder mystery.
With great performances from all involved, although Marta was my fave - as well as tons of little Easter eggs and nods to many inspirations before it, I couldn't say a bad thing about Knives Out and was so happy that my 16 year old son could experience such a great film on the big screen, so different to his usual viewings.
A pleasure to watch and entertaining the whole way through, Knives Out could be in the top 3 for 2019..!
