Knives Out** (12A) 
(Vue Romford) 

(US 2019)                                 
Lionsgate/Media Rights Capital/T-Street. 130m.

A murder mystery writer dies after disinheriting his family; the chief culprit is known but the family all try to exploit her for their own ends.
Entertaining pastiche murder mystery (set for once in the present day, with one or two socio-political observations) with its director's familiar trait for turning genre conventions on their head, but still commendably Gothic, and as ever, keeping audiences guessing.
