Knives Out (2019)

[Edgy MD]

When famed and wealthy crime novelist Harlan Thrombey dies in an apparent suicide, celebrated private detective Benoit Blanc is dispatched by an anonymous client to his family of selfish, awful, and conniving offspring to see if foul play was involved. Director Rian Johnson returns us to the world of the big-house mystery and the more-broad-than-deep portrayals by the ensemble cast that come with the program.

We loved this movie. It was totally over the top.

i enjoyed it, but i fail to see what the big deal was.

I think the big deal was that a non-green-screen movie made a big profit in actual brick-and-mortar movie houses.



In 2019!



I think that it being a traditional genre — aka, no big deal — made it even more remarkable. No green screens and the only A-lister in it doesn't really appear until the second half.
