Knives Out put every joke in the trailer and then dared us to sit through the rest.

Knives Out thinks "scary" means turning the lights off and slamming a kitchen drawer.

@REEL_DEAL2026-01-10 23:00 UTC

Knives Out should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

Knives Out: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Knives Out?

Just got out of Knives Out and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Knives Out?

Honestly, Knives Out would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

The cinematography in Knives Out is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Look, I wanted to love Knives Out. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Knives Out actually is?

Everyone praising the Knives Out performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
