True to its title

Rating: 9/10 (29 November 2019)

Knives Out is entertaining, charming, and endearing. It keeps you guessing and every its plot is well-paced with twists: some you expect, some you don't. The ones you expect are more complex than they appear, and the ones you don't see are clever enough to keep you thinking.
Craig is marvelous, and de Armas keeps her mystique from 2049. The ensemble has mesmerizing give and take which leaves for some genuinely inspiring scenes - if not for their content, but for their development.
Its parts are great, and as a sum of its parts, it's magnificent. This well-timed, perfectly-lit film will have your face smiling, your mind racing, and the theater reeling.
