I'm really surprised that this movie was made. It's a throwback to a different time. It's low key, funny but in a "smile" way rather than a "ha ha" way, although I did laugh out loud a couple of times. It's sweet. It's innocent. I don't think anyone swears even once in this movie. There's no sex. Very little violence. It's pretty to look at and I did find the mystery intriguing.
If you want to see a movie that doesn't hit you over the head, and doesn't promote any political agenda, and is just mild fun, this is the movie for you.
Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan are the leads, two cops investigating a murder of a film director. The action takes place in London's theatrical world. Rockwell and Ronan are very good and they play off of each other very well. They are sympathetic characters.
The set design and costumes, reflecting 1950s London, are gorgeous.
Since it's a mystery, I can't say much more, but Agatha Christie's play "Mouse Trap" plays a role in the plot.
