I honestly enjoyed the film enough to return to it again. It's an entertaining whodunit film with half of it being a reveal, which I wasn't quite sure if I liked it or not. I understand that whatever put on screen was meant to push audience to see what the director wants to see, but somehow this film really made me annoyed. Some of the reveals were so on the nose, that you could immediately reply a statement said by any character with exactly the answer that we would get later. It was quite irritating for me.

The trick is as old as time, I guess, but it's okay, how it is done and presented is what a story for. However, again, with the directing, I was left so frustrated because normally when I watch a whodunit film, I would want to feel included in mystery solving. I would feel so much joy when I found something in the background, but this was not that kind of film. You would be entirely guided by Benoit Blanc who would kindly point out all the important details for you. Every clue and hint is served to you on a platter as you sit and watch. You never got to experience the thinking or the finding, you were just told. You didn't get to see any clue because you know what, the director didn't let you see any clue unless it was the revealing time. And I'm still annoyed that we never saw the most important item in the whole film. Because you know what, we the audience would have known it immediately who lied if we saw it. The director didn't want that and that's something that I couldn't let go.

Though frankly, Benoit Blanc revealing things was still quite satisfying so I didn't hate this.
