    Nice take on murder mystery!

    Generally speaking you tend to find more murder mystery TV shows than movies, this is partially since it's hard to build a complete mystery in the allotted movie running time. This movie builds this murder beautifully by showing the different points of views of the suspects. It has a different take than other movies since it gives the viewer a little too much details mid-movie which leaves you questioning everything to the last minute. The acting was brilliant and I didn't feel the number of characters was overdoing it at any stage.

    • How long is Knives Out?Powered by Alexa
    • Is there significance in Blanc's use of pressing the piano key? Is it to just get the attention of the family member being interviewed? Or is he doing it specifically when they've said something important?
    • Is the character name Harlan Thrombey an homage to the Choose Your Own Adventure book "Who Killed Harlowe Thrombey?"?
