Knives Out

A renowned detective is called to solve the mysterious death of a wealthy crime novelist during a family gathering. As secrets and lies unravel, everyone becomes a suspect in this sharp, witty murder mystery. With clever twists and dark humor, the film keeps viewers guessing until the very end.

• Knives Out delivered some of the same delirious fun that the best Christie mysteries do. The film kind of reminded me in a way of Gosford Park, in that while the central murder mystery keeps things clicking along at an agreeable pace, it's really the interpersonal relationships that give the film most of its color and interest.
