Knives out

Plot: Head of a wealthy family empire commits what might seem like a simple suicide questioned by a keen detective to find out what happened, why is there a donut hole in the middle and who hired him.

Aga's opinion: You hyped me up for this movie a little bit too much. I really enjoyed it, it was definitely entertaining and had a whole range of well defined characters. It was meant to be a bit overplayed and it tastefully felt like that (Nazi boy and 150yo grandma were pretty funny). The humor sometimes felt cheap and that's a shame. I was living for Daniel Craig's KFC accent although it felt a bit unnatural but that's just maybe because that's what the accent is like or just because it's Craig. The plot was fun until the burning down of the hospital -- ?? wasn't he trying to be really subtle this whole time? But all in all I would definitely recommend from a visual perspective, very good editing, loads of fun shots and camera movements, great scenography.
