IMDb plot summary: A detective investigates the death of a patriarch of an eccentric, combative family.
Directed by Rian Johnson. Starring Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
This is such a charming watch. Rian Johnson is a master of blending tone here, as he manages to evoke all the feeling of a classic 1920s British murder mystery while also making it feel somehow very modern, never stale or outdated. Marta is a truly wonderful character to position as our lead, and the supporting cast and characters are all just over-the-top enough to be funny without seeming impossible. A really enjoyable flick.
