This movie was really fun. It got a little slow at parts, but the beauty of the movie made it so that you were never bored. Saorise Ronan was fantastic in this as well, she really nailed her role and was genuinely funny througout. Adrien Brody nailed his parts as well, big time.

Almost as good as Knives Out! Fantastic cast and lots of witty banter, a worthwile watch

A very bland and mediocre mystery movie that sh*ts on Agatha Christie almost constantly. And for what they show, they don't deserve a right to do so. Was it not for a few funny moments and an overall good performance from Saoirse Ronan, I would score this even lower. A lot of needless dialogue that's only there to fill up the dead air and pointless characters that overact like this was their first job. If you like Agatha Christie like mysteries, just avoid this.

Agatha Christie meets Wes Anderson. It's not as fun as it sounds, but it's fun enough.

The movie starts with the narrator talking about how boring and predictable whodunnits are and then proceeds to be a boring and predictable whodunnit.

It’s quite clear to me what it’s trying to be: a meta whodunnit comedy like _Knives Out_ mixed with the quirk and visual style of early Wes Anderson. Is it charming? Yes. Is it funny? Yes, though the comedy does miss at times. Is it annoying? Also yes, but only sporadically. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the same panache as Wes Anderson, nor is it as clever and subversive as _Knives Out_. It kinda does that _Matrix Resurrections_ thing where it points out all of its own cliches and genre trappings in the first act, but then goes on to embrace most of them. It all culminates in a third act that I thought was frankly underwhelming and predictable. What keeps it watchable are the performances, characters, editing, music and direction, but this should’ve been a lot bolder. A decent effort from a first time feature director, but let’s see if he can come up with something where he doesn’t lean on his influences so hard.

5.5/10

[**Agatha Christie getting trapped in her own world was the best thing to enjoy here.**]

This film got a whole lot enjoyable with its excellent plot and such retro vibe.The colourful representation of the theatre made it a lot enjoyable.And you can't but make it through once you've started.

Had it's moment with some off-the-cuff one liners that made us laugh, but it shouldn't be considered an out and out comedy. It's a play within a play within a movie.
Great time waster.
6.5/10

A relatively good film, there aren't many who done 'its these days aside form the newer renditions of Hercules Poirot movies, so I was eager to see this one, while it doesn't boast the same grandeur or splendour those films enjoy this was a pretty good take / homage to Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap"

The film has great styling, feel as well as some great humour every so often, what does let it down is it starts off great and then as you get further in it slows down before ramping up toward the end, still enjoyable but worth noting.

A fun period whodunit that, while failing to be as clever as it thinks it is, still manages to entertain through the use of some oddball chemistry that guides the film through its bumpier moments.

It's generally well made - the acting, editing, direction & use of music are definitely up to standard. Unfortunately, despite the strengths of those elements, it fails to leave a lasting impression due to an over-reliance on tropes and cliches. Don't get me wrong - it's still a fun piece of entertainment that certainly brought a smile to my face when it mattered. However, I imagine I'll forget it existed within a day or two of writing this.

Ratings are kinda mean lol but perhaps I enjoyed it a little more since it’s a Saturday night after work and it was good to just switch off. Definitely see the shadows of Wes Anderson. It’s quirky and I do think it takes some wit to be able to play on tropes and cliches in a way that doesn’t make the audience cringe / feel that it’s a try hard. Some bits in the middle definitely did feel lacklustre / slow though.

It's story is interesting enough to keep you seated there. It's clearly trying to be meta and knowingly silly, but it never quite hits its marks in attempting this. There's one specific point where something is said and I say "Oh that's just utterly stupid". Then later in the movie they make a callback to it and my only thought was "point proven, utterly stupid" when they were clearly going for "WOW! HAHA! THAT WAS AWESOME!".

Neither of the two stars get the quirkiness of their characters quite right. The support actors and actresses do better jobs, for the half of it.

It takes a lot of inspiration from Cohen's Fargo. But it is too confused.

I was so hyped for this movie. It kinda gave me Knives Out made by Wes Anderson vibes. Sadly enough it just wasn't that great a movie. The potential was definitely there with great actors and visually speaking the movie was great. The plot was just lacking. Three couples left the cinemas throughout the movies which I've honestly never seen happen before. It was just to slow a movie.

Well that was a fun watch, loved the script, that i thought was smart and good choice on cast that all worked well with each other and loved the style.

Having watched _Glass Onion_ and this film in quick succession, I think it is safe to say that the original _Knives Out_ remains the film to beat when to comes to the modern who-dun-it. Whereas Benoit Blanc's first outing had the benefit of a fiendishly clever central mystery, this film tries to earn its cleverness points with a tongue-in-cheek meta set-up. While these efforts aren't entirely wasted ([spoiler]Adrien Brody pitching his action packed finale was hilarious, and the payoff, though predictable, was still a fun moment[/spoiler]), there's diminishing returns on every fourth-wall breaking wink at the audience. Beyond that, the ensemble of suspects feels underdeveloped, which is possibly a symptom of a runtime that left things feeling a tad rushed. At the end of the day, the entire who-dun-it element doesn't leave much of an impression, with all of the detective work feeling fairly straightforward. Luckily, the central performances from Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan were enough to keep me invested, as they both bring their comedic chops and sell their quirky, odd-couple partnership.

This movie is decent, it also helped me come to the realization that I fucking hate cutesy, period whodunits. I suppose all the meta stuff will really play to the Christie stans out there

There are plenty of great British actors, or at least ones that are better at the accents. It's a cute movie, but I wouldn't say don't miss it. It's a Saturday night when you've got nothing better to watch or see or just wanting something campy-ish.

Not quite the puzzle box of a movie that I expected but thanks to the witty script, it was still an enjoyable watch.
