“How refreshing it is when a movie turns out to be better than expected. And such is very much the case in this third installment in the “Knives Out” murder mystery franchise, arguably the best offering in the series.”

“Man oh man. Christianity is making a comeback. Let’s all listen to holy men say holy things for the whole runtime. The mystery is stupidly mysterious. The whole thing feels sloppy but I found the slop a little more welcoming than the last one.”

“Pugilistic priest “Fr. Jud” (Josh O’Connor) has lost his temper with a deacon and been consigned to a remote country parish where his plain-speaking bishop (Jeffrey Wright) hopes he can do less damage.”
