Masterful work, this is my second favorite movie of 2019, only after Parasite. Rian Johnson has cemented himself as one of the most interesting directors working today and earned my full attention for his future works.
Knives Out is not only the best of its kind, it also brought fresh new takes on how to approach the whodunit genre. The story is intriguing and the pacing is near perfect. As expected from this amazing cast, the acting is good to great through and through, with one of the best performances of 2019 from Daniel Craig. Extremely happy for Ana because thanks to Blade Runner 2049 and this, she's very much on her way to be a superstar. Rian once again bathed his film in stylistic cinematography, making it one more cut above other movies. I can keep on talking about the tight writing, the atmospheric score, the dynamic camerawork, the non-stop twists and turns, but I suggest you go and see this brilliant piece of art yourself.
