KNIVES OUT

Rian Johnson United States, 2019
The Baffler
This whodunit is light entertainment at its finest, a surprising movie with an enjoyable sense of complication and a dream cast.

Johnson’s own sleight of hand is estimable, even if his effort to add politics into the crowded mix rings hollow. The machine is what matters here, and he has clearly had such a good time engineering it that it’s hard not to feel bad when you don’t laugh along with him.

It's not a pastiche of Agatha Christie any more than, say, Bend of the River [Anthony Mann, 1952] is a pastiche of Western Union [Fritz Lang, 1941]. It does, however, rejuvenate the whodunnit in a manner akin to Ford's Stagecoach's [1939] modernization and modulation on the western.

How did Harlan die? You can bet it was in a far more complicated way than meets the eye. One of the many clever things about Knives Out is that the answer is given relatively early—although the full solution to the mystery, together with the further ramifications of Harlan’s death, are gradually fleshed out in unexpected ways.

A slickly packaged, riotously entertaining good time.

A massively fun, if blissfully unsubtle, old-school whodunnit.

As a smartly crafted and shaped piece of entertainment, Johnson’s movie comes off especially good in a moment when such mid-budget, story-driven movies have all but disappeared; it’s a throwback that’s also an outlier. But in desiring to be simultaneously out of time and of the moment, Knives Out is perhaps trying to do a little bit too much.
