Joanna Hogg’s “The Eternal Daughter”
Reading the tea leaves of memory in a secluded manor, The Eternal Daughter quietly weaves a story of memory, connection and loss
Tom George’s “See How They Run”
Enjoyable, theatrical whodunnit built around Agatha Christie’s long running stageplay The Moustrap(which it doesn’t spoil) is a playful romp led by pitch perfect performances from Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan
Scott Cooper’s “The Pale Blue Eye”
Revisionist historical that never quite manages to be more than average despite a collection of massive talent
Halina Reijn’s “Bodies Bodies Bodies”
Based on a story by Kristen Roupenian with a crackling script from Sarah DeLappe, this is a fresh take on the genre with terrific direction from Halina Reign supported by excellent casting and a more down-to-earth approach that ends beautifully.
Rian Johnson’s “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery”
Another modern spin on classic whodunit movies that’s well crafted, enjoyable and about as serious as Craig’s sleuth, Benoit Blanc
Janus Metz Pedersen’s “All The Old Knives”
Surprisingly effective, twisting spy yarn that plays out like a murder mystery and offers plenty of twists
