Miserable
23 November 2020
I began to watch this after having thoroughly enjoyed "Agatha and the Midnight Murders" as it was similarly framed. However, the historical framing of this joyless, dour and decidedly postmodernist bunch of sadness is where the similarities end. One hopes that when producers use a famous author as the central character in a film billed as being similar in style to her works that the film would in fact have similar tone and personality. The producers of this film chose to betray the author's legacy by using it to pander to current cultural trends rather than give us an Agatha Christie style mystery. A great opportunity was lost. Thankfully, these great wrongs were corrected in the far superior "Midnight Murders" which I recommend viewing instead.
