Knives Out (2019)

This is a beautifully crafted murder mystery. The moral of the story is rich people are the freaking worst. The casting was great. The attention to detail was fantastic. There isn’t much I would change. It’s clever and fun. Even when things are laid out in front of you, they may not be what they seem. Rian Johnson did a great job and I hope this franchise goes on for years to come.
