See How They Run recap: killer, motive, fact and fiction

9th October 2022 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A film about the search for a murderer linked to a play about a search for a murderer based on a real life case. With more layers than the massive cake that murder victim Leo Köpernik falls into at The Mousetrap‘s 100th performance celebrations, See How They Run blends a real life case of child… See How They Run recap: killer, motive, fact and fiction Read More

See How They Run 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

9th October 2022 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A rookie WPC and her inspector try to solve a murder committed in 1950s London theatreland. I love watching anything Agatha Christie-related: her tightly-plotted mysteries, clues in plain sight yet inexplicably invisible until that last drawing room denouement. And I love to follow her detectives’ methodology as I sit my two sons in the drawing… See How They Run Read More

Death On The Nile 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

3rd April 2022 by Sarah

Famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot investigates a series of murders on a luxurious river trip. Kenneth Branagh’s latest stab at the Agatha Christie classics is as much about the wounds and scars of the living as about the dead (though there are plenty of bodies too). And despite — because of? — its focus on… Death On The Nile Read More

Knives Out 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

28th November 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

The greatest mysteries tend to have simple, even prosaic explanations: motives can mostly be distilled down to love or/of money. In Rian Johnson’s traditional murder-mystery, Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) is rich and lonely, with a huge grasping family so used to him paying for them that they’ve forgotten that he doesn’t have to (though he… Knives Out Read More

Murder On The Orient Express 2.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

4th November 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

It’s impossible to review this film without mentioning Poirot’s moustache. To be honest it most resembles the intimate topiary of a woman who has tried to do her own Hollywood wax and given up part way through because of the pain. But it is impressive nonetheless, and in 2017, Year Of The Movie Moustache, Branagh’s… Murder On The Orient Express Read More
