How This Works – Read Other Reviews
Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2019 film Knives Out.

Story
The movie throws so much information at you and barely gives you time to sort anything before adding more. It’s delightfully confusing in the best way. The down side of it is that you risk hitting a point where you just don’t care.
Score: 0.5
Characters
So many characters and so much talent. The movie is great and Daniel Craig plays a great detective even if his accent fluctuates a little.
Score: 1
Dialogue
The entire dynamic of the family is completely believable and the minor amount of politics are just as relevant six years after it was released… unfortunately.
Score: 1
Visuals and Music
The visuals are fast and filled with interesting things. The set, the costumes, and the locations are spectacular.
The music is good and supports the story.
Score: 1
Fun
This was my first rewatch since I saw it in theatres and I was surprised by how much I remembered. It was just as fun working it out the second time. The rest of the family enjoyed it, although the 6yo was a little bored.
Score: 1
Overall
A wonderful revival of the detective film with an allstar cast and fascinating mystery. Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc is a welcome addition to Holmes, Poirot, etc.
Final Score: 4.5 Stars out of 5
