When young priest Jud Duplenticy is sent to assist charismatic firebrand Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, it’s clear that all is not well in the pews. After a sudden and seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, the lack of an obvious suspect prompts local police chief Geraldine Scott to join forces with renowned detective Benoit Blanc to unravel a mystery that defies all logic.

Like this less than *Glass Onion *but possibly more than *Knives Out. *The mystery itself is pretty good, but feels a little obtuse. I cottoned on to a fair amount of it as it went, which is always rewarding, but the things that were surprising didn’t feel like I’d been fooled or missed something really clever, and more like the film had just hidden information from me. However I feel like, as with any good mystery, this would really reward a second viewing and all in all just click a bit more. That’s really the benchmark of a mystery film. Where this really falters though is that I don’t feel it fully develops its ensemble cast anywhere near as much as the previous entries in the series. So far the Benoit Blanc mysteries’ lead selling point has been how fun their extended cast is, but in this they feel barely present, which is a real shame. All in all though I enjoyed this well enough, and am just happy this series exists as a modern answer to Poirot.
Incredibly thought provoking but average in most aspects
Big fan of the Blanc character and have enjoyed the other two, although Glass Onion is the weakest of the three. Only gripe was that it wasn’t too hard to solve, and that we don’t get enough screen time with Blanc considering the runtime. All in all a good addition to the series, and hope there are more to come.
segue ancora una volta il detective Benoit Blanc, chiamato a risolvere quello che viene definito il suo caso più difficile. L'indagine si svolge in una piccola cittadina dello stato di New York, dove un giovane prete viene assegnato a una chiesa dal passato oscuro. Quando durante una funzione religiosa avviene un omicidio apparentemente impossibile, tutti i presenti diventano sospettati e Blanc si trova a districare una rete di segreti, conflitti personali e questioni legate alla fede, alla redenzione e all'avidità. Rispetto ai due capitoli precedenti, il film punta su un'atmosfera più cupa e gotica, mantenendo la classica struttura del giallo con continui colpi di scena Probabilmente il capitolo più cupo della trilogia, e si vede che Rian Johnson aveva voglia di cambiare atmosfera. L'ambientazione funziona, il cast è enorme e Daniel Craig continua a essere perfetto nei panni di…
martha was moving like aizen, while jeremy was playing himself. if only we could show some love for him on some app... anyway love daniel craig I've known him since the james bond movies/games I remember watching my neighbor play james bond on PS2 he's cool i love him, now josh did an incredible job by not just acting well but also for existing. ngl I kind of did not expect the ending though I knew who the killers were although I dismissed that though because I thought it wouldn't be that easy but hell yeah cool ending brother hot priest appearance!!!
Scooby dooby doo 9/10
best out of the three
JOSH O CONNOR U ARE FUCKING BRILLIANT
A significant upgrade from the previous installment; this time it focuses on multiple characters, providing them multifaceted development. I can devour 15 of them easily, bring it on Rian and Netflix
najbolji od trilogije
si cerras un ojo hay hannigram acá.
This series has had amazing cinematography, but this takes the cake. Exterior sunlight change in a church with windows? Thank you YES!
謎團很有趣 雖然我沒在動腦(其實是想不出來) 硬要挑毛病的話感覺前面鋪陳稍稍冗長了一些

I need 67 million more of these
It’s not a good feeling to be on the minority side yet again after “Glass onion”. Almost feels like I watched a completely different film compared to majority. Although this has got some of the best cinematography of the series, best performances including josh o'connor, most serious writing of the series and the most emotional one, it was still not enough for me to completely love it. I know it tried to be more than just whodunit but still I couldn’t feel it as much as I wanted it to be. Writing didn’t do much as a whodunit. It was pretty basic. Some of the writing choices or a reveals were quite juvenile. Central theme of the film - church, corruption, GOD, Sins and all kinda overpowered the true essence of WHODUNIT for me. I expected more. It’s still much much better than the dud GLASS ONION but 200% it couldn’t reach the masterful writing and execution of the original “KNIVES OUT” according to me. Knives out ->>>>>>> Wake up dead man ->>> Glass onion
An incredibly relevant, if unsubtle, film. I love the aesthetics of the film, much more in line with the first, and the mystery is not just interesting but thematic. The characters, while mostly insufferable, are all entertaining, and Blanc is at top form as always. I have no respect for Catholicism, whose entire purpose in Christendom seems to be to separate the body from Christ and create these idols, symbols, and rituals to serve as unnecessary middlemen in a simple two-part transaction. Which is exactly what Christ came to this world to end. I digress.
кто круче? бенуа бланк или иисус христос?
Not only it was a great mystery but I love how Rian Johnson shows the effects of the alt right pipeline and how dangerous religious fantacism can be.
A way better than Glass Onion.
rewatched again and i got all of the lotr references i feel so geeked
Najmniej natchniona intryga w tej serii do tej pory, mimo iż większość filmu przyjdzie nam spędzić na terenie kościoła. Terenie który uważam za zdecydowanie najsłabszy (znowu) anturaż ze wszystkich trzech, chociaż tutaj dużo zależy od poczucia estetyki. Dla mnie miejsca akcji są nie tylko monotonne, ale też pozbawione duszy (wink); chociaż muszę przyznać, że akustyka samego wnętrza kościoła jest świetna i nawet raz czy dwa została kreatywnie wykorzystana. Za to tym, co stoi tutaj na najwyższym poziomie w tej franczyzie, jest humor który trafia idealnie w moje gusta, bo jest dosadny, momentami wręcz balansuje na granicy wulgarności; a do tego bywa nieoczywisty (przerwanie taśmy "do not cross" to majstersztyk). No ale co z chyba największym mięskiem tych filmów, czyli obsadą? Na papierze jest cudowna jak zwykle, niestety w samym filmie... nie ma żadnych cudów. Chociaż sami aktorzy…
