Aaaah, I love 'whodunnit's ! It's the first time I discover this is an actual 'genre'. I absolutely love content around crime (investigations, true crime documentaries, etc.) so having a movie where I can think along is so amazing. What did you think about this one and are there others you'd recommend? :) 

Enjoy!

At around the 20 min mark Mary said, "See, in a situation like this I would be completely honest and I think I would go to jail because I was honest by admitting I have a motive to kill someone." I hope you see the symbolism of the go game between Marta and Harlan throughout the movie, which I consider to be one of the primary themes and which is made clear by Benoit at the end when he told Marta that she wins not by playing Harlan's game (trying to control the outcome, even by deception or manipulation) but by playing her own (being honest and letting go of control). So, assuming the detectives are as genuinely interested in the truth as they are in this movie, you wouldn't go to jail. In this movie, you are the character of Marta: honest, playing your own game and winning, just without the puke (at least I assume).

Watching this masterpiece of a movie made me re-evaluate the Last Jedi. Clearly every choice in that Star Wars film is intentional; even the stuff people find frustrating. I really think Ryan Johnson was trying to help Star Wars fanatics grow by forcing them to confront failure and the inverse pain of that. What makes him an artist is that he wants the audience to be genuinely moved, to come into a movie assuming one thing and have them leave feeling something else when they leave. Boba Fett, Rogue One, The Rise of Skywalker!?! Committee made fan service films design to make the audience dependant on a brand. I guess it upsets me that people hate Johnson for trying to make us re-evaulate what we think we want.

What I think people fail to understand is that puncturing nostalgia is not necessarily representative of a hatred for nostalgia. I certainly enjoy some of the long-gap sequels they've made where the filmmakers lean into nostalgia. At the same time, I do also thirst for these movies, even ones that are picking up the threads of something I love, to be bold and break free of nostalgia, and go firmly in completely new directions and explore uncharted territory. The whole joy of getting a new chapter in something I enjoy is furthering the journey, not retracing the old steps. I suppose I can understand feeling protective over treasured childhood memories, even if I think the way many of these people go about it is frustrating, but I also have to agree with anyone who says that those memories aren't actually being affected by these franchises making the choice to move forward. I wish TRoS had the courage to follow through on what Johnson set up, which I loved. Frankly, after what we got, maybe even the haters would be willing to roll the dice on it, since the sloppy, self-conscious backpedaling didn't seem to please anyone.

This is one of my favorite movies of the last few years, and I was so happy to get to "rewatch" with you, and very glad you liked it! You're a gem, Mary, hope your travels are going well & safely!

I would also suggest The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. But I am torn between the Swedish Version and the American one. Both have there merits.

Rian Johnson's first feature Brick is also a clever mystery film. Others I would recommend (that I haven't seen a bunch of reactions to) Murder on the Orient Express, Winter's Bone, and The Big Sleep

I love Brick. The whole notion of modern day teenagers talking and acting like they are in a 30's noir movie just captured me from the get go. Every time I make the drive between San Diego and LA, I have to rewatch it as I see the high school it was filmed at off the freeway in San Clemente.
