Johnson, on temporary sabbatical from the Star Wars universe after The Last Jedi, has used his time well. Murder he wrote - and what a writer he is. Oct 9, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

There is some savvy subtext in Rian Johnson's writing, about old money and Trump-era values, but mainly this is exceptional cinematic froth, and murder at its most mirthful. Oct 9, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

Best to remember that those old movies Johnson embraces were really not that great, and to bring lowered expectations to his entertaining but scattershot update. Sep 11, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

A silly, stabby, supremely clever whodunnit that only really suffers from having too little room for each of its talented players to fully register in the film's limited run time. Sep 10, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

Johnson hasn't just churned out a wink-wink spoof of the classical drawing-room mystery... with its ingenious twists and turns, he has crafted an intricate puzzle-box narrative worthy of the genre's brainiest practitioners. Sep 9, 2019 | Full Review…

[A] dizzy, politically astute murder-mystery comedy that, while not reinventing the genre, certainly hits all the expected beats with flair. Sep 9, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

A renowned narrative format honoured yet subverted, a plot that is intelligent but not smug, an all-star cast that is perfectly balanced, giving performances that range from venomous to vulnerable yet are all rip-roaringly funny. Nov 11, 2019 | Rating: 10/10 | Full Review…
