Knives Out (2019 Rian Johnson & scr)

Those big caricatures and the intricate design in the house reminded me of Sleuth - which may have been intentional. It's an absolutely brilliant screenplay - I love it when Blanc insists that Marta accompany him on his investigation, and she keeps finding bits of her own evidence. And the ending, which has been set up so brilliantly by Harlan Thrombey at the beginning.

A very fitting tribute to Christopher Plummer who died February 5 aged 91.

Daniel Craig, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, LaKeith Stanfield.
