I'm a little bummed that I waited so long to watch this due to reading poor reviews! I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Honestly, I often get bored during many movies, but this one held my attention the entire time. I think the low reviews aren't getting all the satire in this film &/or were expecting it to be a true sequel to Knives Out. Watch it with an open mind as a stand-alone and don't take it too seriously, and I don't think most would be disappointed. If you only want to watch it for a complicated whodunit, then I guess I can see being disappointed. Overall the story was interesting, I didn't find it too slow (when many complaints said that), and I feel that way about many movies. I think people who hated the ending feel that way because they want a threequel (even though it's not a true sequel), or they're pissed that they missed the clues and had it wrong. We have to suspend our conceptions of reality for so many shows and films, so I'm not sure why people struggled to with this one. The casting was perfect, I was especially impressed by Janelle Monae's acting! I had to laugh at the review that said Kate Hudson can't act- again it's satire, and she was playing a dumb celebrity. All the sets were stunning and beautifully detailed, and added to my appreciation of the film. I've seen a lot of bad films and this is not one of them. I think it was really fun and definitely worth a watch.
