Knives Out- Movie review


Knives Out (2019)

Knives Out is an intricate murder mystery which revolves around the death of a famous mystery novel writer Harlan Thrombey and his family surrounding in the fence of suspicion of murder. The movie is all about the death, conspiracies, revelation and misguidance like a typical thriller movie.
The screenplay is written with very details and you enjoy every scene which keeps you on edge of your seat and adds more to the mystery. The scene composition, set design and costumes is another great aspect of the movie it was all screen when Daniel Craig was sits in the chair with the knives surrounding the background gave the feel of Game of Thrones.

The performance altogether were superb especially of Ana De Armas as Marta Carbrera, an immigrant who is the central character in between this mystery. Also Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc with his southern accent plays a funny as well as witty character, someone who would look up Sherlock Holmes as his idol as we can see him referencing Marta as Watson in many scenes. Comparing it to the other murder mystery movies I can put the movie somewhere above Murder Mystery and below Zodiac.  

However I was very much not satisfied by the big reveal where Benoit Blanc understands the involvement the mystery by a simple evidence. Apart from this I must say the movie is a great mystery thriller and will keep you bind in your seats for 120 minutes of its runtime.

Ghost Stories- A Review★★★

After previous anthology movies like “Bombay Talkies” and “Lust Stories” our fab four turns their head into the genre of horror with the latest Netflix release “Ghost Stories”. Like the previous ones this movie also consists of four stories directed by Zoya Akthar, Anurag Kashyap, Dibakar Banarjee and Karan Johar. Let’s discuss and review the four stories. Zoya Akthar- The major premise for Zoya’s story revolves inside a house where a nurse Sameera played by Janhvi Kapoor is on her duty to take care of an old lady Mrs Malik played by Surekha Sikri. Surekha Sikri’s errie look and appearance certainly brings the spookiness to the story. We feel invested in the story and Janhvi Kapoor with her dialects and decent acting shows some improvement from her previous works.   Anurag Kashyap- Anurag’s story is the most mind bending one among the all with many visual symbolisms and metaphors. Anurag chooses the de-saturated theme with hard to detect colors present in the s...
