I have to say that I enjoyed this much more than Glass Onion (2022). Fantastic cast list. I actually thought that Josh O’Connor was the strongest performance out of them all. I would actually love to see Josh O’Connor as the next James Bond! I did actually think that Daniel Craig was the weakest link. I don’t know what accent he was actually trying to do but his accent didn’t do anything for me! I know that not many would agree with me. Very good support from Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis and Andrew Scott. This film is more serious and more dark than the other two Knives Out films (2022, 2019). In theory you could look at this as more of an Easter movie more than a Christmas movie as it has a lot of themes in to do with Easter. Just some of the themes that feature are betrayal, faith and redemption.
