The film indeed has an extent of creativity and smart twists that the audience will be able to enjoy .. if they can make it past the first half

If I walked out of Crisis with the amount of knowledge and awareness that I learnt, then it was a time well spent .. and I didn't walk out with just that.

I hear high concept ideas like this from aspiring writers all the time and I always think, this can't be enough to make a good screenplay, let alone a good film

Knives Out is further proof that the key factor behind exceptional success in 2019 cinema is risk taking.

Chapter 2 can only be described as too messy until it gets too organized and then goes back to the worst mess I can imagine.

Cage's performance didn't develop or change, it just falls in the right place, where his crazy reactions & over the top acting become traits that help the film & distinguish him.

The acts of the trip that, when put together, form the film are very well paced, with just about the right dosage of pain and humour to keep it balanced

Associating the movie with mysteries and thrillers, rather than horror, sounds more fitting for me to appreciate the beautiful picture that Robert Eggers is introducing.
