Knives Out's reviews
Media reviews
Indiewire
?Knives Out? is too much fun in the moment for you to dwell on what?s come before (or to be too distracted guessing at where it?s going). Even if you do somehow manage to piece the whole thing together in advance, there?s no way of predicting the joy of watching it all unfold.
The A.V. Club
Is one of those mysteries so clever and fiendishly well-engineered that you eventually have no choice but to stop trying to get ahead of it, to simply enjoy the way it plants and payoffs.
The Hollywood Reporter
Johnson's screenplay in many ways is the star here, with its well-oiled plot mechanics and guileful twists and turns.
The Guardian
Johnson has much fun pulling the strings as well as the rug from underneath us time and time again.
Variety
?Knives Out? recalls a time when audiences could still be surprised by such mysteries, before the genre devolved into a corny parody of itself.
Sporting Johnson?s strongest screenplay, Knives Out expertly jukes every time you think you have your bearings.
