  Knives Out 2019

  rian johnson does a masterclass in mystery during this film, not to mention beautiful blocking & camera work that can seem simple enough but add to the dynamic of the script & actors & gives you so much to pay attention to that you get swept up in the world. the ensemble kills but but ana de armas shines, even against brilliant seasoned actors like chris evans, michael shannon, jamie lee curtis & daniel craig. so so unbelievably good.
