Knives Out 3. 👍 No Spoilers. One line killed me. [View all]

Wake Up Dead Man
Obviously there’s death. There are two really unnecessary references to masterbation (IMHO).

Josh O’Connor was really good in this. Considering the cast (see below )…he lead and stood out.

Jeremy Renner’s character said a line I laughed so hard at we had to pause the movie.
His wife left him “..for a guy she met in a Phish message group”.

There another scene with his character going down stairs. Very funny. NO SPOILERS.

There’s an homage to “Princess Bride” (I think) with coffee cups.
Glenn Close’s character has a look and reference to Cloris Leachman in “Young Frankenstein”. A running joke about surprising and scaring people.


One character- Cy - is a failed rightwing politician and he has one part where he runs down all the right wing talking points he used in his campaign but failed to make people scared enough. It’s very spot on.

Cast
Daniel Craig - impeccably costumed by Jenny Eagan
Josh O'Connor
Glenn Close
Josh Brolin - very Jesus look.
Mila Kunis - as the Sheriff 👍
Jeremy Renner
Kerry Washington - always fantastic
Andrew Scott - always good.
Cailee Spaeny
Daryl McCormack
Thomas Haden Church
