From someone who was underwhelmed with The Last Jedi

Rating: 8/10 (24 November 2019)

I found Rian Johnson's Star Wars film to be disappointing, but I believe in going into every movie with an open mind, and I really enjoyed 'Knives Out'.
It's an intricate mystery story that feels clever, witty, and made with a lot of passion and care. An early twist in the plot puts this film on another level, distinguishing it from other murder mysteries and making it a unique experience. The characters are very distinctive, and the brisk pace means that the 130 minute runtime is never boring. The theme of self-made success is also beautifully explored.
I found the ending to be slightly rushed, but overall, the film comes across as funny, smart, and unpredictable, all at the same time. Would certainly recommend giving it a watch.
